West espressif install not working

[mredpath2]

After following the steps in zephyr getting started. I have been unable to compile anything for the Espressif esp32c3 or anything else using the espressif toolchain in Ubuntu 22.04.

I have set the ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT to espressif. But then it asks for the ESPRESSIF_TOOLCHAIN_PATH environment variable but I don't know where the toolchain is located or how to install it. The esp32c3 board page says to run west blobs fetch hal_espressif but this didn't seem to help.

I have tried a few different locations for the ESPRESSIF_TOOLCHAIN_PATH and it gives me the error:

Unable to find toolchain in
  /path/to/location Run
  `west espressif install` to download it.  Then, export to path accordingly.

However, when I run west espressif install. I get this error

usage: west espressif [-h] [-b BAUD] [-p PORT] [-e ELF] {monitor} west espressif: error: argument command: invalid choice: 'install' (choose from 'monitor')

It appears west espressif no longer has a command called install. I think it used to have this command last time I installed this.

@mredpath2 Can you confirm you read the v3.2 or latest documentation? ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=espressif was deprecated a few versions ago. You have to use default configuration: ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT="zephyr". You also have to download latest Zephyr SDK.

Thank you for the follow up. I started from scratch and it is now working.
I believe part of the issue was because I was trying to work out of a different directory and my .west/config needed me to add these lines:

[zephyr]
base = path/to/where/I/did/west/init/zephyr

I think I had the most updated tools, but I guess the error message is out-of-date as it says to do west espressif install which i guess must be an old command
