I am attempting to upload the code found here: [2.13 Camera Web Server — SunFounder ESP32 Starter Kit documentation](https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/esp32-camera-pro-kit/en/latest/projects/ar_iot_camera_web.html)

However I get the following error: /Users/user/Downloads/esp32\_webcam/iot\_2\_camera\_server\_copy-1/app\_httpd.cpp:45:10: fatal error: human\_face\_detect\_msr01.hpp: No such file or directory  
45 | #include “human\_face\_detect\_msr01.hpp”  
| ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
compilation terminated.  
exit status 1

Compilation error: human\_face\_detect\_msr01.hpp: No such file or directory

Obviously this file is missing. How do I fix this error and does this mean something that is supposed to be included in the file download is missing?

Until Monday when Sunfounder can give a better answer, I’d try another esp32 version e.g.

> **[GitHub - espressif/arduino-esp32 at release/v3.0.x](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/release/v3.0.x)**
>
> release/v3.0.x

This includes the same code with the missing file as the original sketch.

It is not recommended that you copy and paste the code from the tutorial, because you may not upload the complete code and dependent files, resulting in upload errors.  
It is recommended that you download the complete code package and unzip it, then go to the specified path of the code you want to upload and open the ino suffix file to upload.  
If an upload error occurs, please provide us with a complete error screenshot.

I am having the same issue. I downloaded [https://github.com/sunfounder/esp-cam-kit/archive/refs/heads/main.zip](https://github.com/sunfounder/esp-cam-kit/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and after changing the ssid and password, I tried to verify and upload. I receive the following error:

We recommend opening the iot\_2\_camera\_server.ino file located in the esp32-starter-kit-main\c\codes\iot\_2\_camera\_server directory using your IDE.

Before uploading the code, please ensure you select the correct development board and port in the IDE. Additionally, enable PSRAM and set the Partition Scheme to “Huge APP (3MB No OTA/1MB SPIFFS)”. Then, click Upload.

Please provide us with a screenshot of the entire IDE page for verification.
