Hi,
Amazing video - thanks a lot.

I want to share what was not working in my case:
. ./install.sh causing terminal crash, works with
chmod +x install.sh
and
flashing return error related, the solution was pressing BOOT button and executing idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash
and
idf.py monitor return error, works with
idf.py monitor -p /dev/ttyUSB0

issues are probably related to my setup (Ubuntu VM on Parallels + ES-WROOM-32)

Thank you @kampi0
