<div>Windows 10</div>
<div>VisualGDB 6.0R6 (build 5262)</div>
<div>Visual Studio 2022 v17.12.4</div>
<div>Espressif v5.3</div>
<div>Board: ESP32S3</div>
<div></div>
<div>I’m an Espressif noob and wondering if someone can layout the exact steps for obtaining components. I’ve read through many posts on the subject, but can’t find the exactly what to run and what to configure …and afraid of messing up my environment if i do it wrong(?)</div>
<div>I want to get the espressif/led_strip package at:</div>
<div>https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/led_strip/versions/3.0.0</div&gt;
<div></div>
<div>From what I can gather, my guess is:</div>
<div>1) Open up a command line and run:</div>
<div>C:\SysGCC\esp32\tools\idf-exe\1.0.3\idf.py add-dependency “espressif/led_strip^3.0.0″</div>
<div>First question is where i would run this from? The root of the folder where the project was created?</div>
<div>2) Create a idf_component.yml file? With contents</div>
<div>espressif/led_strip: “^3.0.0″</div>
<div>…or is this created from the run?</div>
<div></div>
<div>I saw this in a previous post:</div>
<div>>To enable the component manager in the project configuration phase, you must add the following variable in the >CMakeLists.txt of the project root:</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>set(ENV{IDF_COMPONENT_MANAGER} “1”)</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>In this way, in the configuration phase, when the idf_component.yml file is found in the main component, the dependency >is executed and the referenced component is downloaded:</div>
<div>Is this still needed?</div>
<div></div>
<div>3) After the steps, i think read somewhere then you have to next do a build to see the “managed_components” folder?</div>
<div></div>
<div>Any help appreciated …Thanks</div>
