Make Sure you have Java 8, not 9, 10, or 11

Check your java version by opening CMD and typing

java -version

and you should see:

java version "1.8.0_181"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)

If you see anything other than 1.8.something, remove Java then install it from:

https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Under Private Hardware Path, select New.. and search for (where you extracted Arduino)/hardware/

Mine looks like:

C:\WPIAPPS\arduino-1.8.3\hardware\

Under Private Library path, select New.. and search for your user library directory. It is usually in (your users home)\Documents\Arduino\libraries for Windows, or (your users home)/Arduino/libraries for Unix systems. You know you have the right one if the folder contains ESP32Servo, Esp32SimplePacketComs, SimplePacketComs, EspWii and WiiChuck Directories from the library install step above. Remember the location of this folder, it will be where you clone your code in a coming step.

Mine looks like:

C:\Users\harrington\Documents\Arduino\libraries
