3. Start a Project

Now you are ready to prepare your application for ESP32. To start off quickly, we will

use :example:`get-started/hello_world project from :idf:`examples` directory in IDF.

Copy :example:`get-started/hello_world` to ~/esp directory:

cd󰲧~/esp

cp󰲧-r󰲧$IDF_PATH/examples/get-started/hello_world󰲧.

You can also ﬁnd a range of example projects under the :idf:`examples` directory in ESP-

IDF. These example project directories can be copied in the same way as presented above,

to begin your own projects.

📖 Note:

The ESP-IDF build system does not support spaces in paths to ESP-IDF or to projects.
