Install Prerequisites
=====================
To compile with ESP-IDF you need to get the following packages:
- CentOS 7::
sudo yum install git wget flex bison gperf python cmake ninja-build ccache dfu-util
- Ubuntu and Debian::
sudo apt-get install git wget flex bison gperf python python-pip python-setuptools cmake ninja-build ccache libffi-dev libssl-dev dfu-util
- Arch::
sudo pacman -S --needed gcc git make flex bison gperf python-pip cmake ninja ccache dfu-util
.. note::
CMake version 3.5 or newer is required for use with ESP-IDF. Older Linux distributions may require updating, enabling of a "backports" repository, or installing of a "cmake3" package rather than "cmake".
Additional Tips
===============
Permission issues /dev/ttyUSB0
------------------------------
With some Linux distributions you may get the ``Failed to open port /dev/ttyUSB0`` error message when flashing the {IDF_TARGET_NAME}. :ref:`This can be solved by adding the current user to the dialout group<linux-dialout-group>`.
Setting up Python 3 as default for Ubuntu and Debian
----------------------------------------------------
Ubuntu (distributions before v20.04) and Debian (distributions before v7) are still providing Python 2.7 as the default interpreter. Python 3 is recommended instead and can be installed in old distributions as follows, or please consult the documentation of your operating system for other recommended ways to achieve this::
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools
Making Python 3 the default interpreter is possible by running::
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 10
.. note::
This is system-wide change which may affect all of the applications.
