Error running "esphome run yamlfile.yaml" from windows to flash vue2

[catatung]

Hi,

I just went to provision a new emporia vue2 with this firmware and it seems like the process has changed dramatically since earlier this year when I did the first one. There seems to be many downloads and packages retrieved during the process, and I am stuck on an error. "Could not find the package with 'espressif/toolchain-riscv32-esp @ 8.4.0+2012r2-patch2' requirements for your system 'windows_amd64'"

Is there something anybody can suggest? Is esphome.exe the only method for parsing the .yaml file into a bin file that I could then flash onto the emporia vue2 using esptool.py?

In case anybody else lands on this, I abandoned windows and booted Debian 11 and was done in less than 10 minutes. If I recall correctly, all I needed to do was "apt-get install python3-pip python3-venv" and "pip3 install esphome". Then connect your ftdi usb/serial device to the unit, plug it in and then run "esphome run ./yourfile.yaml"

Make sure you do this as a regular user and not root, otherwise it will not complete, was my experience here. If you try debian linux live, make sure there is at least 1.4GB free on your user directory as many files will be written into ~/.platformio and ~/.esphome during this process. As files are downloaded and expanded, the most space I saw occupied at one time was 1.3GB. The amount of space required in your situation may vary, but this is what I saw in my situation.
