|
## Boards Manager ##
|
|
|
|
This is the suggested installation method for end users.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
- Arduino 1.6.8, get it from [Arduino website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwareReleases#previous).
|
|
- Internet connection
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
- Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
|
|
- Enter ```http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json``` into *Additional Board Manager URLs* field. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.
|
|
- Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and find *esp8266* platform.
|
|
- Select the version you need from a drop-down box.
|
|
- Click *install* button.
|
|
- Don't forget to select your ESP8266 board from Tools > Board menu after installation.
|
|
|
|
You may optionally use *staging* boards manager package link:
|
|
`http://arduino.esp8266.com/staging/package_esp8266com_index.json`. This may contain some new features, but at the same time, some things might be broken.
|
|
|
|
## Using git version
|
|
|
|
This is the suggested installation method for contributors and library developers.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Arduino 1.6.8 (or newer, if you know what you are doing)
|
|
- git
|
|
- python 2.7
|
|
- terminal, console, or command prompt (depending on you OS)
|
|
- Internet connection
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
- Open the console and go to Arduino directory. This can be either your *sketchbook* directory (usually `<Documents>/Arduino`), or the directory of Arduino application itself, the choice is up to you.
|
|
- Clone this repository into hardware/esp8266com/esp8266 directory. Alternatively, clone it elsewhere and create a symlink, if your OS supports them.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd hardware
|
|
mkdir esp8266com
|
|
cd esp8266com
|
|
git clone https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git esp8266
|
|
```
|
|
You should end up with the following directory structure:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
--- hardware
