Hello Everyone!

I am trying to setup the arduino environment to start programming the ESP32 microcontroller module.

I am following the tutorial on the SparkFun website to install the ESP32 Arduino Core.

I am kind of stuck with the last step of running the "get.exe" file which installs the ESP32 SDK and the Xtensa GNU tools.

But running the get.exe files just pauses at

System: Windows, Info: Windows-xxxxx-xxxx
Platform: i686-mingw32
Downloading xtensa-esp32-elf-win32-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.zip
-

for a very long time w/o installing the GNU tools. Any step that I missed or is there an issue with the get.exe file.

Please help!
Thanks!
