Make sure you are running a recent desktop Chrome or Edge browser and head over to the [installer site](https://install.wled.me)!

### Flashing method 3: OTA update
### Flashing method 4: OTA update
You can alternatively use my [basic HTTP OTA updater](https://github.com/Aircoookie/ESP8266MinimalHTTPUpdater) sketch and upload the binary! This requires the Arduino IDE and ESP8266 core installed.
If your device is already running a firmware with built-in OTA capability, you can probably use that as well.
