- . Finally, select the driver file named 'FTDI USB Drivers', located in the 'Drivers' folder of the Arduino Software download. Note: the FTDI USB Drivers are from Arduino. But when you install drivers for other Controllers, such as Xadow Main Board, Seeeduino Clio, Seeeduino Lite, you need to download corresponding driver file and save it.

- Latest macOS Sierra/High Sierra -compatible driver for devices using the CH340G, CH34G or CH34X chipset. This chipset is used in several Arduino-compatible clones and serial-to-USB cables. Do not install if you have the current macOS Mojave 10.14 or later. MacOS Mojave 10.14 (released in October 2018) includes a CH34x driver by Apple.
ESP-32 is still quite new, therefore uploading a sketch is not as straightforward as with ESP-8266. It's still easy though if you follow below steps:
Install Python
First, install Python 2.7 if you don't already have.
Arduino Install Mac Operating System
When you mouse-over the Sketch button you find in the drop down menu “Include Library”. On the right side a new window expands with the current libraries and the first entry is “Manage Libraries”. Now the Library Manger opens in a new window which is the main part of the Arduino desktop IDE to install, update.
Then install python library called wget using pip.
pip install wget
The above is needed for all operating systems. Things are still almost the same in Windows, Linux or MacOS.
Install ESP-32 drivers (for Windows users)
Windows users need to install some drivers. Linux and MacOS users can skip this step.
Go to below address:
download and install CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver.zip
Install ESP-32 board manager
You cannot install ESP-32 by boards manager in Arduino IDE (at least in June 2018). Additional Boards Manager URLs is no use when installing ESP-32.
You need to create a new folder hardwareespressif under your sketchbook folder. If you don't know this location simply open Arduino IDE. Then go to Preferences and see Sketchbook location section at the top. Then change this location wherever needed in the below command list.
For me it was 'C:UsersAliustaogluDocumentsArduino'. Change yours accordingly
For Windows
It is quite simple for Windows. Execute below commands one by one. It will first get the source code from git and then download necessary files to the location where Arduino IDE will be looking for.
My sketchbook location was C:UsersAliustaogluDocumentsArduino for Windows-10.
It might take a while. But after the download and installation finishes, you should be able to see the list of ESP-32 devices under board menu. You don't need to go to Boards Manager anymore.
For Linux and Mac OS
My sketchbook location was /Users/cuneytaliustaoglu/Documents/Arduino for Mac OS.
It is almost the same for UNIX users. Execute below steps:
Arduino Install Mac Software
But I got an error while executing the last step
Install Arduino Library Mac Os
IOError: [Errno socket error] [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:726
If you get this error change the contents of get.py with the one below. Open a text editor:
sudo nano get.py
and replace whole content with below:
Now if you restart Arduino IDE, you will see the list of ESP-32 devices.
