How to install ESP32 esptool / esptool.py on Ubuntu
The recommended way is to install the current version using pip
since the version installed using apt
might be out of date:
sudo pip install esptool
After that, you can use esptool.py
- note that you need to call it as esptool.py
, not just as esptool
!
In case you are missing pip
, install python3-dev
using apt:
sudo apt -y install python3-pip
