don't know how to start the project

[FilD01]

hi, I don't understand what I specifically need to do to make this work, can you explain which code needs to go where?

This is a standard Arduino project, download the whole project, open HttpGarageDoorController.ino in the IDE, configure as per documentation and then upload to your chosen hardware.

@washcroft There is really a lack of said documentation...

[washcroft]

@sparklingsparklers There is ample documentation in README.md, this is project specific documentation, not an introduction to micro controller programming and development.

After downloading the project, creating the secret.h file, and downloading the dependencies, this is the error im getting.
