# ESP-Flasher

[![GitHub Releases](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/Jason2866/ESP_Flasher/total?label=downloads&color=%231FA3EC&style=for-the-badge)](https://github.com/Jason2866/ESP_Flasher/releases/latest)

ESP-Flasher is a utility app for ESP8266 / ESP32 and is designed to make flashing Tasmota on ESPs as simple as possible by:

 * Having pre-built binaries for most operating systems.
 * Hiding all non-essential options for flashing. All necessary options for flashing
   (bootloader, flash mode) are automatically extracted from the binary.

The flashing process is done using the [esptool](https://github.com/espressif/esptool)
library by espressif.

## Linux Notes

Installing wxpython for linux can be a bit challenging (especially when you don't want to install from source).
You can use the following command to install a wxpython suitable with your OS:

```bash
# Go to https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ and select the correct OS type
# here, we assume ubuntu 20.04
         sudo apt-get update
         sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libsdl2-dev
         pip3 install -U \
          -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 \
          wxPython
```
