Whenever Matter environment is out of date, it can be updated by running above
command.
In IDF v4.4.x, `esptool` is part of the esp-idf repository, but in IDF v5.x, it
is moved out as an installable Python package.
If you are using IDF v5.x or later, please install `esptool` using the command
below:
```
# Please make sure to run this command in the Matter Python environment
python3 -m pip install esptool
```
For MacOS, `gdbgui` python package will not be installed using `bootstrap.sh`
script as it is restricted only for x64 Linux platforms. It is restricted
because, building wheels for `gevent` (dependency of `gdbgui`) fails on MacOS.
