Exit status 127 while compiling esp32 code

Using Arduino IDE 1.x

Hi all,
Getting error while compiling blink code into esp32.
it's displaying "exit status 127". I'm not sure about the type of exit statuses.

The copied error message is as below:

I think that your installation is corrupt.

To my knowledge, the part between { and } should not show in a bash output but should have been replaced by the actual path.

What I would try to solve it is to downgrade the ESP32 board package using the boards manager and next upgrade it again.

Note: I'm not a Mac user.

Incorrect board or port configuration in the Arduino IDE can sometimes cause this error.
