 The toolchain programs access ESP-IDF using ``IDF_PATH`` environment variable. This variable should be set up on your PC, otherwise projects will not build. Setting may be done manually, each time PC is restarted. Another option is to set up it permanently by defining ``IDF_PATH`` in user profile. To do so, follow instructions specific to :ref:`Windows <add-idf_path-to-profile-windows>` , :ref:`Linux and MacOS <add-idf_path-to-profile-linux-macos>` in section :doc:`add-idf_path-to-profile`.

+Install the Required Python Packages
+====================================
+
+Python packages required by ESP-IDF are located in the ``$IDF_PATH/requirements.txt`` file. You can install them by running::
+
+    sudo python -m pip install -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt
+
+or you can use the following command for installing them into the user install directory on systems where you don't have administrator rights::
+
+    python -m pip install --user -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt
+
+.. note::
+
+    Please invoke that version of the Python interpreter which you will be using with ESP-IDF. The version of the
+    interpreter can be checked by running command ``python --version`` and depending on the result, you might want to
+    use ``python2``, ``python2.7`` or similar instead of ``python``, e.g.::
+
+        sudo python2.7 -m pip install -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt

+从零开始设置 Linux 环境下的工具链
+**********************************
+
+除了直接从 Espressif 官网下载二进制格式的工具链，下面将再介绍一种可替代的办法。如果想要快速设置二进制工具链而不是手动从源码编译，请做好备份，并前往 :doc:`Linux 环境下的设置 <linux-setup>` 章节。
+
+
+安装必要的工具
+==============
+
+要想使用 ESP-IDF 进行编译，您需要获取以下软件包：
+
+- Ubuntu 和 Debian::
+
+    sudo apt-get install git wget make libncurses-dev flex bison gperf python python-serial
+
+- Arch::
+
+    sudo pacman -S --needed gcc git make ncurses flex bison gperf python2-pyserial
+
+.. note::
+
+    一些旧的（2014年之前）Linux 发行版中使用的 ``pyserial`` 版本可能是 2.x ， ESP-IDF并不支持。
+    在这种情况下，请参考 :ref:`安装依赖的 Python 软件包 <get-started-get-packages>` 章节，通过 ``pip`` 工具来安装支持的版本。
+
+从源代码编译工具链
+==================
+
+- 安装依赖:
+
+  - CentOS 7::
+
+        sudo yum install gawk gperf grep gettext ncurses-devel python python-devel automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool
+
+  - Ubuntu pre-16.04::
+
+        sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext libncurses-dev python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool
+
+  - Ubuntu 16.04::
+
+        sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool libtool-bin
+
+  - Debian 9::
+
+        sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext libncurses-dev python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool libtool-bin
+
+  - Arch::
+
+        TODO
+
+下载 ``crosstool-NG`` 然后编译::
+
+    cd ~/esp
+    git clone -b xtensa-1.22.x https://github.com/espressif/crosstool-NG.git
+    cd crosstool-NG
+    ./bootstrap && ./configure --enable-local && make install
+
+编译工具链::
+
+    ./ct-ng xtensa-esp32-elf
+    ./ct-ng build
+    chmod -R u+w builds/xtensa-esp32-elf
+
+编译得到的工具链会被保存到 ``~/esp/crosstool-NG/builds/xtensa-esp32-elf``。根据 :ref:`Linux 下设置环境变量的标准方法 <setup-linux-toolchain-add-it-to-path>` 中的介绍，将工具链添加到 ``PATH`` 中。
+
+
+下一步
