Upgrading from 4.3.2 to 4.4 gives virtual environment script errors

[greyarea]

I am running ESP-IDF 4.3.2 (in ~home/docs/code/esp/esp-idf) and downloaded the 4.4 ZIP file to put it alongside my esp-idf directory in ../esp-idf-release-v4.4

I have the prerequisites listed but when I run ./install.sh I get the below error - note that I am NOT running it from a virtual environment. What's the correct/best way to upgrade to 4.4?

Code: Select all

$ ./install.sh

The error indicates that you are running the install script in a terminal where tools were already set up for use by sourcing export.sh.

The solution is to run it in a clean terminal.

Your path indicates that you might be using Vscode. If that is the case then please look for proper upgrade guide in the vscode extention github repository.
