-1. Initialize and sync all submodules (recursively) `git submodule update --init --recursive`
-1. Configure device settings per **menuconfig settings** section, `make menuconfig`
-    * This step is critical
-1. Apply **esp32-camera.patch** patch `git apply --directory="components/esp32-camera" esp32-camera.patch`
-1. Compile code `make all`
-1. To prevent any effects from previous firmware (e.g. firmware crashing right at start), highly recommend to erase flash `make erase_flash`
-1. Upload Upload firmware to ESP32 `make flash monitor`
-    * Note, ESP32 **GPIO0** pin needs to be connected to **GND** pin to enable flashing
-    * To exit monitor, on mac *control+]*
