Install Library
The Arduino IDE library manager is used to manage the driver library that the demo calls, and we will provide a corresponding driver library for each ESP32 board, so you can choose the appropriate installation method according to your case.

③. Select the library version in the box. If there are no special requirements, default to the latest version. Click on INSTALL.
When installing the library, if prompted to install other dependent libraries, please click "Install All". Otherwise, it may cause some demos or programs to fail to compile properly.
