- Tue Feb 28, 2017 3:18 pm #63145 Hi,

I also have the same problem.
The fix with the command line didn't help.

Could it be, that the Github boardpackage download is down?
When I open: http://arduino.esp8266.com/versions/2.3 ... index.json
and try to download manually the .zip package that is linked in the json, I get a connection timeout.
The URL inside the .json: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/rele ... -2.3.0.zip

Has anyone please help me?

Just open preferences and click on the link at the bottom (arduino15).
delete all the files inside the folder Packages and all the files with the word package in it.
restart arduino IDE.
It should work.
