But I met the error problems as following:
► No COM Port: I chose the board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E module), but I cannot find my COM PORT in TOOLS
► Error Compiling: I upload the blink for a test, but it showed ERROR as
Library/Arduino15/packages/esp8266/tools/python3/3.7.2-post1/python3: no such file or directory
I spent much time to find the solutions. Now I have solved the problems on my MacOS so that I would like to give a summary here. I hope it could help you when you meet the similar issues.
►Install the CP2102 driver (USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers)

There could be the problem with your cable. I used the cable from my power bank. However, it was not the data cable! So please be sure that you are using a data usb cable to connect your board.
►Install Python3
After I got my COM Port successfully, I still had the problem with compiling. As the picture above, it told me that it could not find Python3 file.
Library/Arduino15/packages/esp8266/tools/python3/3.7.2-post1/python3: no such file or directory
After checking online, I found the problem could be MacOS hasn't preinstalled the python3. (have a look at
https://installpython3.com/mac/)
Finnally, I installed Python3 from python official website for my MacOS.
