ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi all.

I'm trying to install Arduino ESP8266 on my Linux Mint laptop. After installing Arduino 1.6.5, I go throug the instructions on https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino and on the last step "Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and install esp8266 platform", I get the error I mention on the subject. There is also a screen capture.

TIA

I get the same error. However, if I switch the path from /stable/ to /staging/ then that version will install without error (though I'd rather run a stable release)

Right, I did the same thing, but I guess the stable version should be working. Anyway...

Same here. CRC errors when installing the "stable" release.
Ive been using the "stable" version for a few weeks succsesfully.
Under xubuntu 14.04 and arduino 1.6.5.
But wanted to make sure I had the latest version so tried to re-installed the stable version.
But now even after deleting everything i cant re-install the stable version due to the CRC errors.
Ive had to resort to the staging version.

But ive noticed the uploads from the staging release are a lot larger than what i was getting from stable.
Also getting some unpredictable behaviour under staging.
Id like to compile them under stable to compare.
But cant due to crc errors.

I there anyway i can manually install the "stable" version?
