Installing with Boards Manager

Starting with 1.6.4, Arduino allows installation of third-party platform packages using Boards Manager. We have packages available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (32 and 64 bit).

Install Arduino 1.6.5 from the Arduino website.
Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
Enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json into Additional Board Manager URLs field. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.
Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and install esp8266 platform (and don't forget to select your ESP8266 board from Tools > Board menu after installation).

From there, select your esp8266 (can use the Generic one) from the board menu.
You will be able to see a set of example from the file->example menu.

Good luck
