Be very careful to install the correct load for your board. In particular the popular 'T-BEAM' radio from TTGO is not called 'TTGO-Lora' (that is a different board). So don't install the 'TTGO-Lora' build on a TBEAM, it won't work correctly.

## Linux
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Requires `Python` and `pip`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Download and unzip the latest Meshtastic firmware [release](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-esp32/releases).
|
|
||||||
2. `pip install --upgrade esptool` - Installs esptool on your machine
|
|
||||||
3. Connect your radio to your USB port
|
|
||||||
4. `esptool.py chip_id` - Confirm that your device is talking to your PC by running
|
|
||||||
You should see something like:
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
mydir$ esptool.py chip_id
|
|
||||||
esptool.py v2.6
|
|
||||||
Found 2 serial ports
|
|
||||||
Serial port /dev/ttyUSB0

|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
5. `cd` into the directory where you unzipped the latest release.
|
|
||||||
6. Install the correct firmware for your board with `device-install.sh -f firmware-BOARD-VERSION.bin`
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
./device-install.sh -f firmware-heltec-1.2.x.bin
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
7. To update a the firmware on an existing Meshtastic device, run `device-update.sh -f firmware-BOARD-VERSION.bin`
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
./device-update.sh -f firmware-heltec-1.2.x.bin
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## MacOS
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing on OS X through the commandline uses the same method as linux, but requires a slightly different method to install Python, pip and esptool.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
OS X (10.15.3/Catalina) comes with Python 2.7 installed, but not pip.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
:::note
|
|
||||||
If you don't know if Homebrew is installed on your Mac, open terminal and enter the command `brew -v` if it doesn't work [install Homebrew](https://brew.sh) before continuing.
|
|
||||||
:::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. `brew install pyenv` - Installs PyEnv
|
|
||||||
2. `pyenv install 3.7.7` - To install and select Python 3.7.7
|
|
||||||
3. `pyenv global 3.7.7` - Selects the new version of Python
|
|
||||||
4. `brew install pip` - Installs pip3
|
|
||||||
5. `pip3 install --upgrade esptool` - Installs esptool
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may need to install a driver from Silicon Labs for the [CP210X USB to UART bridge](https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
6. Now install as per installing on the Linux commandline. Replace `pip` with `pip3` in your commands.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Windows
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Requires `Python`, `pip`, `Gitbash`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Download and install [Python](https://www.python.org/)
|
|
||||||
2. If you have a recent version of Python, pip should be installed by default. Check using the command `py -m pip --version`. This will display the installed version of pip. If it returns an error, you will need to [install pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/).
|
|
||||||
3. Download and install [Gitbash](https://gitforwindows.org/) (or other appropriate shell)
|
|

## Windows & MacOS
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Download and unzip the latest Meshtastic firmware [release](https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic-device/releases/latest).
|
|
||||||
2. Download [ESPHome Flasher](https://github.com/esphome/esphome-flasher) following their installation instructions.
|
|
||||||
3. Connect your radio to your USB port and open ESPHome Flasher.
|
|
||||||
4. If your board is not showing under Serial Port then you likely need to install the drivers for the CP210X serial chip. In Windows you can check by searching “Device Manager” and ensuring the device is shown under “Ports”.
|
|
||||||
5. If there is an error, download the [drivers](https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers), then unzip and run the Installer application.
|
|
||||||
6. In ESPHome Flasher, refresh the serial ports and select the port to which your board is connected.
|
|
||||||
7. Browse to the previously downloaded firmware and select the correct firmware based on the board type.
|
|
||||||
8. Select Flash ESP.
|
|
||||||
9. Once complete, “Done! Flashing is complete!” will be shown.
|
|
||||||
10. The board will boot and show the Meshtastic logo.
|
|
||||||
11. Debug messages sent from the Meshtastic device can be viewed with a terminal program such as PuTTY. Within PuTTY, click “Serial”, enter the “Serial line” com port (can be found at step 4), enter “Speed” as `921600`, then click “Open”.
