Installing ESP8266 Package with Boards Manager

Starting with 1.6.4, Arduino allows the installation of third-party platform packages using Boards Manager. We have packages available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (32 and 64 bit).

  • Install the current upstream Arduino IDE at the 1.8.9 level or later. The current version is on the Arduino website.
  • Start Arduino and open the Preferences window (File > Preferences)
  • Enter https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into the File>Preferences>Additional Boards Manager URLs field of the Arduino IDE. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.
  • Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and install esp8266 by "ESP8266 Community" platform & close the board's manager by hitting the "close" button at the bottom right of Boards Manager window. (and don't forget to select your ESP8266 board from Tools > Board menu after installation).
