Getting Started
The IDF Component Manager comes pre-installed and enabled by default in all supported ESP-IDF versions.
Checking the IDF Component Manager Version
If you're unsure which version of the IDF Component Manager is included in your ESP-IDF installation, you can check it using a CLI command.
First, activate the ESP-IDF environment, then run the help command:
Open ESP-IDF PowerShell Environment
or ESP-IDF Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
from the Start menu and run the following command:
> compote version
$ source $IDF_PATH/export.sh
$ compote version
$ . $IDF_PATH/export.fish
$ compote version
If you're using an older version of the Component Manager, the compote version
command might not be available. In that case, consider upgrading to the latest version. For details, see Upgrading the IDF Component Manager.
