- Sun Mar 12, 2017 12:09 am #63593 Link is working again.

- Tue Apr 04, 2017 10:25 am #64605 I was having the same problem. Just worked when I installed using git. Try these steps:

1 - Install git https://git-scm.com/downloads

2 - Install Arduino 1.6.8

3 - Go to Arduino directory

4 - Clone this repository into hardware/esp8266com/esp8266 directory (or clone it elsewhere and create a symlink)

5 - Open the command prompt as adm

6 - use theses command lines:
cd hardware
mkdir esp8266com
cd esp8266com
git clone https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git esp8266

7 - Download binary tools (you need Python 2.7)
cd esp8266/tools
python get.py

8 - Restart Arduino

It worked for me. The source of this is at https://github.com/esp8266/arduino

- Tue Apr 04, 2017 1:58 pm #64615 much too complicated ... no need for git or python if you are only interested in Arduino.
