Now i will list the steps of setup the ESP32:

1 - First you plug the ESP32 chip by the Micro-USB cable to connect to a pc.
2 - Then open ADRUINO IDE to link the ESP32 package in the IDE By going to FILE->PREFERENCES and add this URL to the Additional Board Manager (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json).
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ADRUINO IDE DOWNLOAD IT FROM THIS LINK --> https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
3 - Then go to TOOLS => BOARD => BOARDS MANAGER then search for ESP32 and click install.
4 - After that you need to specify which Board of ESP32 you want to work on By going to TOOLS => BOARDS, then find the board you have from the list.
5 - Enable the port COM from TOOLS => PORT.
6 - Then test that ADRUINO IDE examples by going to FILE => EXAMPLES => and select an example code to try it out.

Finally this is only an explanation of how to setup ESP32 chip and make sure it works and ready for programming using ARDUINO IDE.
