Just curious why the "Prerequisites" section says:
https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... requisites
The ESP-IDF Tools Installer does all of this automatically, which is far better than installing things one by one. Why not just recommend the Installer ?

VSC Extension Prerequisites

Yes the tools installer should install all those prerequisites.username wrote: The ESP-IDF Tools Installer does all of this automatically, which is far better than installing things one by one
Because the tools installer is only available on Windows. Linux/Mac users need to install those prerequisites through their respective package managers. A user may also choose to install the tools one by one if they want to use a specific version of a particular tool.username wrote:Why not just recommend the Installer ?
If a user has not installed the correct tools before running the ESP-IDF VSC plugin (i.e., hasn't run the tools installer), the plugin's onboarding process has option to download and install the necessary tools as part of onboarding.
