ESP32 Forum

Hi,

I've been following the Getting Started guide successfully, till I came to the section where I am supposed to install Python packages. The thing is that there was no previous mention of installing the Python itself. What I don't understand is whether this is supposed to be the Python instance installed on the Windows host OS, or whether it refers to a Python instance installed within msys2 using some package manager (pacman?). Either way, I think that this section could use some improvements.

Anyway in my case, says So how should I install Python and which one preferably?

Thanks

Hi APrince,

Have you run mingw32.exe as described in Check it Out?
Python is already included in this installation. No need to install it.

I see what you see if I run msys2.exe or mingw64.exe.

My bad... You are right. I was launching msys instead of mingw.

Thanks

Locking this, as for some reason this question attracts spammers... feel free to start a new post if anyone has issues with specifically the ESP-IDF Python bits.
