Working through the Webserver tutorial but I’m a little confused that there is instruction for install to Windows & MAC but no Linux – have I missed something fundamental ? I’m using Arduino 2.3.2 – Have followed tutorial instruction as best as I could but I’m unable to achieve “ESP32 Sketch Data Upload.
Thanks,

Hi.
What instructions you following exaclty and which errors do you get?
Are you following the web servers ebook?

Hi Sara,
Thanks – I’m using the eBook “Build Web Servers with ESP32 and ESP8266” and having difficulty “installing the Arduino ESP#@ FilesystemUploader beginning on page 55.
Fundamentally I’m wondering if there is a reason that the eBook contains instruction to perform this install with Windows as well as MAC but not a Linux PC ?
I have created the example text file and used the Dolphin file manager to set up the directories as described in the eBook
The problem I was having was no option to “go to Tools and check that you have the option “ESP32 Sketch Data Upload”
I think I may have found my problem though – i just got a message that:
Blocked: /user/bin/java -jar
The file ‘home/al/Arduino/tools/ESP32FS/tool/esp32fs.jar’ is not marked as executable so I guess I better fix that ?
But  – on the question  of Instruction for windows vs mac vs linux in the ebooks – why are there no instructions for linux ?
Is it a matter of variances between linux distro’s ?
OR  is it something silly I’m missing ?
I do remember reading somewhere “???” – for windows do this – for mac do this – for linux do the same as mac
Anyway I’m learning lots and having a great time working through the tutorials !
Thanks so much for your great work – really happy to have found RNT

Will update my progress ….
 

Hi.
I’m sorry for the confusion. And this is our fault.
The issue is because we use Arduino version 1 in the eBook and you’re using Arduino 2.
Wer’re currently updating another eBook (Learn ESP32), but the Web Server eBook will be the next one. We’ll update the instructions to use Arduino IDE 2.
Meanwhile, you can follow these instructions to install this SPIFFS plugin compatible with Arduino IDE 2: https://github.com/espx-cz/arduino-spiffs-upload
 
The reason we don’t have for Linux is because there are many different distributions, but essentially, it should be similar to MacOS.
 
Let me know if you need further help.
 
Regards,
Sara
