Hi everyone: This is my first post here, and I hope I didn't miss anything that would have helped me with my problem.

I am trying to install the ESP8266 Board Package into the Ardurino IDE (version 1.6.5).

After setting the "Additional Boards" URL in the Preferences Dialog Box to "http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json", I then click on Tools->Boards Manager, then I click on the "Type" drop-down box and select "Contributed".

Then I click on the "Install" button and the install hangs.

Does anybody have any debugging clues, or tips, or any help at all?

I thank you for reading.

Sincerely,

I can't find the package in the Library Manager from this link http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json
And I add the link to the "Additional Boards manager URLs."

How to fix the problem :?:

Thanks in advance
Gino

What do you mean ? The link is working ... It should work in BoardManager too ...
Are you seeing specific errors ?

Does anybody have any idea why the download would hang? Is there another way to download?
