From ed7c2a676ba1b8189047501f04f1736de95e9c7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: per1234 Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2018 00:40:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Improve installation instructions Rather than assume the location of the user's sketchbook folder (which may not be correct and is different depending on OS), just tell them how to find the location if they don't already know it. This makes the instructions more simple and less confusing. --- README.md | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 2d20d3b..4928a6a 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -11,12 +11,10 @@ Tested with the following Arduino IDE versions: 1.6.5-r2, ## Installation - Make sure you use one of the supported versions of Arduino IDE and have ESP8266 core installed. - Download the tool archive from [releases page](https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin/releases/latest). -- In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create tools directory if it doesn't exist yet. -- Unpack the tool into tools directory (the path will look like `/Arduino/tools/ESP8266FS/tool/esp8266fs.jar)`. +- In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create `tools` directory if it doesn't exist yet.
