Is https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... index.html the best instructions for installing the SDK, toolchain etc on Windows? It seemed to go OK but then I hit...
- Python click claimed not to be installed (and doesn't appear to be in the installed msys32 toolchain)
- Trying to update packages using pacman failed because of updated certificates
- Installing click using pip failed because of a missing complier (but probably the wrong one anyway!).
So I'm yet to manage to install any of the examples .
Anyone able to suggest where I might be going wrong or need to add some poorly/undocumented steps?
Thanks!

I've been trying to update the packages using `pacman` but that has also failed because of SSL certificates. Found some instructions for updating these but the new certificates seem to be be ignored.

Do you have any other python installed? If yes, try removing its path from environment variables.
