This is necessary in case someone has a space in their PATH variable (which is within the realm of possibility)

Standard Setup of Toolchain for Linux
*************************************
Install Prerequisites
=====================
To compile with ESP-IDF you need to get the following packages:
- CentOS 7::
sudo yum install git wget make ncurses-devel flex bison gperf python pyserial
- Ubuntu and Debian::
sudo apt-get install git wget make libncurses-dev flex bison gperf python python-serial
- Arch::
sudo pacman -S --needed gcc git make ncurses flex bison gperf python2-pyserial
Toolchain Setup
===============
ESP32 toolchain for Linux is available for download from Espressif website:
- for 64-bit Linux:
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux64-1.22.0-61-gab8375a-5.2.0.tar.gz
- for 32-bit Linux:
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux32-1.22.0-61-gab8375a-5.2.0.tar.gz
1. Download this file, then extract it in ``~/esp`` directory::
mkdir -p ~/esp
cd ~/esp
tar -xzf ~/Downloads/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux64-1.22.0-61-gab8375a-5.2.0.tar.gz
.. _setup-linux-toolchain-add-it-to-path:
2. The toolchain will be extracted into ``~/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/`` directory.
To use it, you will need to update your ``PATH`` environment variable in ``~/.profile`` file. To make ``xtensa-esp32-elf`` available for all terminal sessions, add the following line to your ``~/.profile`` file::
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin"
Alternatively, you may create an alias for the above command. This way you can get the toolchain only when you need it. To do this, add different line to your ``~/.profile`` file::
alias get_esp32='export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin"'
Then when you need the toolchain you can type ``get_esp32`` on the command line and the toolchain will be added to your ``PATH``.
.. note::
If you have ``/bin/bash`` set as login shell, and both ``.bash_profile`` and ``.profile`` exist, then update ``.bash_profile`` instead.
3. Log off and log in back to make the ``.profile`` changes effective. Run the following command to verify if ``PATH`` is correctly set::
printenv PATH
You are looking for similar result containing toolchain's path at the end of displayed string::
$ printenv PATH
/home/user-name/bin:/home/user-name/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/user-name/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin
Instead of ``/home/user-name`` there should be a home path specific to your installation.
Arch Linux Users
----------------
To run the precompiled gdb (xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb) in Arch Linux requires ncurses 5, but Arch uses ncurses 6.
Backwards compatibility libraries are available in AUR_ for native and lib32 configurations:
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs/
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs/
Alternatively, use crosstool-NG to compile a gdb that links against ncurses 6.
Next Steps
