'west espressif update' returns a usage error

Question

I am trying to set up zephyr on my esp32 by following this tutorial.

Unfortunaly, when I try west espressif update as it is written, I get the following error:

usage: west espressif [-h] [-b BAUD] [-p PORT] [-e ELF] [-n EOL] {monitor}
west espressif: error: argument command: invalid choice: 'update' (choose from 'monitor')

All the required dependencies have been installed and my cmake version is 3.26.4.

I really don't know what I did wrong. Any idea ?

Answer 1

The commands west espressif update and west espressif install seem to be outdated. Have a look at: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/54890#issuecomment-1479431830 I can recommend the getting started guide from Zephyr: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html (Make sure you got the latest version)
