## Installing

You can download prebuilt binaries from the [releases section](https://github.com/Rodmg/esptool-gui/releases).

## Building

### OSX

1. You should have Qt5 and QtCreator developer tools installed in your system (https://www.qt.io/developers/). tested with Qt 5.6.0 and Qt Creator 4.0.0.
2. Clone this repo and open ``esptool-gui.pro`` with Qt Creator, build from there.
3. For deploying the application, you should include the Qt libraries in te app bundle, you can use the mac deployment tool, more info here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/osx-deployment.html

### Windows and Linux

I haven't tested this in Windows and Linux, however building should be more or less straight forward. The only special build step that should change is the part where the [esptool-ck binary](https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/releases) is bundled, you should bundle the correct version for your operating system. You may also need to change the path in the code.
