ESP32 port issue

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hello,

I was going to play with a ESP32 for the first time. I have Arduino IDE 1.8.13 on a Mac OS X 11.1. The ESP32 has a Micro USB port. I went to board manager and loaded Espressif 1.04 ( which was updated 5 days ago). I went to preferences and put in both
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json

for the additional board manager URLs.
After selecting ESP32 Dev Module as a board, the port options are all bluetooth (including my phone and earbuds)? There is no usb option like when I use the Uno. So I didn't even get to the point where I could connect to the ESP32. Ideas?

Are you using DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1 ?

When you select the board, connect the ESP. In my system it never asks anything about USB. The difference is in the connector, not the signals or protocol.
