What issues did you face? How to resolve?

Interfacing Node MCU ESP8266 with Blynk App is quite easy, we need to create new project and we can add API functions whose definitions are also available in the app as well. So, I did not got any issue while programming and compiling code. One issue I have faced is that, firstly I tried to run Arduino IDE on windows. I have added ESP8266 board files as well.But while connecting board to PC through USB, it was showing driver error because windows has no driver for TTL to USB conversion. and Node MCU ESP8266 board use TTL to USB conversion for serial communication. So, on windows, I was not able to connect this board to Arduino IDE . So, I tried it on Ubuntu, and Ubuntu has in-built drivers for every On-the-Go devices.So, While I tried adding Node MCU ESP8266 on Arduino IDE on Ubuntu, it was connected successfully and it detected port. After this, I was able to compile and upload the code to Arduino IDE
