I'm about to get back into it, and I'm reviewing the Sming quickstart for Windows... but it installs so much... I already have Java 8, Eclipse, mingw, and these things also support other projects on my PC besides Sming, so I don't want to screw any of that up.
Any guidance for me? Is there a reasonable way to update just what i need, or is the best option to just let chocolatey do its thing, and try to clean up afterwards?
Last question; I also have a Linux VM installed; should I be doing my ESP8266 there instead of in Windows?
Thanks!
