This is the github instructions, I have been looking at the ESP32 module
My ESP Arduino installation is located at J:\esp on my PC but other than changing the paths everything went as planned. The board I bought was a Lolin32 from Wemos – we'll come to that later
Tested on 64 bit Windows 10 machine (I don't have 32 Bit)
