  cdhardwaremkdiresp8266comcdesp8266comgitclonehttps://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.gitesp8266

  You should end up with the following directory structure:

  Arduino|---hardware|---esp8266com|---esp8266|---bootloaders---cores---doc---libraries---package---tests---tools---variants---platform.txt---programmers.txt---README.md---boards.txt---LICENSE

• Download binary tools

  cdesp8266/toolspythonget.py

• Restart Arduino
