The instructions are for Arduino IDE version 1.x, but should mostly make sense for version 2.x as well. The reason we're using the older version of the IDE is because there isn't any way in the new version to upload files to the ESP32 board.

	'~~''Mac OS Monterey issue during upload'''~~		For MacOS users we've collected some common [[ESP32_Mac_troubleshooting\|troubleshooting steps here]]
	* If you’re using Mac OS Monterey, you might get an error like this in the Arduino output window:
	~~” ''exec: “python”: executable file not found in $PATH error on mac monterey'' ”~~
	~~If that happens, open a Terminal window, and paste the code below to install the right version of Python in the right place. Then hit enter.~~

	~~<code>sed -i -e~~ '~~s/=python /=python3 /g~~' ~~~/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/*/platform.txt~~<~~/code~~>		'''<big>If everything went well, you are now ready to upload your own code to the board!</big>'''
	* Now restart the Arduino application and try uploading the code to the board again.

	If everything went well, you are now ready to upload your own code to the board!
