- ***************************************
- Standard Setup of Toolchain for Windows
- ***************************************
- Introduction
- ============
- Windows doesn't have a built-in "make" environment, so as well as installing the toolchain you will need a GNU-compatible environment. We use the MSYS2_ environment to provide this. You don't need to use this environment all the time (you can use :doc:`Eclipse <eclipse-setup>` or some other front-end), but it runs behind the scenes.
- Toolchain Setup
- ===============
- The quick setup is to download the Windows all-in-one toolchain & MSYS zip file from dl.espressif.com:
- https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp32_win32_msys2_environment_and_toolchain-20170330.zip
- Unzip the zip file to ``C:\`` (or some other location, but this guide assumes ``C:\``) and it will create an ``msys32`` directory with a pre-prepared environment.
- Check it Out
- ============
- Open a MSYS2 MINGW32 terminal window by running ``C:\msys32\mingw32.exe``. The environment in this window is a bash shell.

- MSYS2 MINGW32 shell window
- Use this window in the following steps setting up development environment for ESP32.
- Next Steps
- ==========
- To carry on with development environment setup, proceed to section :ref:`get-started-get-esp-idf`.
