Python
On Windows you need install Python 2.7.10.
On Linux & MAC OSX, you don't need install it, comes preinstalled with OS.
Installing Hardware package
There is two ways to install hardware package, Boards Manager or GIT
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).
<1>. Install Arduino 1.6.7 from the Arduino website.
<2>. Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
<3>.Enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
into Additional Boards Manager URLs field. You can add multiple URLs, separating them
with commas.
<4>. Open Tools→Board:xxx→Boards Manager and install esp8266 by ESP8266
Community (and don't forget to select your ESP8266 board from Tools > Board menu
after installation).
Installing with GIT (Recommend):
We recommend using GIT to install Hardware package,
you can always get the latest version of it.
