  git clone -b release/v2.2.0.0_esp32 https://github.com/espressif/esp-at.git
  cd esp-at 
  git pull
  git submodule update --init --recursive

    git clone -b release/v2.2.0.0_esp32 https://gitee.com/EspressifSystems/esp-at.git
    

  • Then need to clone esp-gitee-tools

    git clone https://gitee.com/EspressifSystems/esp-gitee-tools.git
    

  • Next, goto the esp-gitee-tools directory and execute the following command:

    cd esp-gitee-tools
    pwd
    export EGT_PATH=$(pwd)
    

  • Last，Go back to the esp-at directory and execute the following command to clone the submodules of esp-at:

    $EGT_PATH/submodule-update.sh
    

Goto the esp-at directory and use the following command to install pip:

cd esp-at

python -m pip install pyyaml xlrd

python -m pip --version

In the esp-at directory, use the following command for module selection. This process will clone the esp-idf SDK in the esp-at directory:

cd esp-idf

set IDF_PATH=D:\esp-at\esp-at\esp-idf
