After installing any version of Arduino (1.6.1, 1.6.4, 1.6.5) on my Mac I get compiler errors because of the missing ESPtool.( Even on my PC.)
I have installed the core package for the ESP8266 (added: http://arduino.esp8266.com/package_esp8 ... index.json to the board manager URL list).
But no ESPtool (menu: tools-programmer)!
How to fix this? :cry:

It's normal, you don't need to choose EPSTool from Arduino IDE, you use the standard programmer. And be sure to select GenericESP in the board selection menu.

@Touliloup : What is the " standard programmer"?

AVRisp
generally it doesn't matter as the isp option often is ignored.
I thought

Code: Select allhttp://arduino.esp8266.com/staging/package_esp8266com_index.json

was the correct json?
