Recently I installed the Arduino IDE 2.3.2 in my system. I added the following line to the Preferences Additional URL’s:
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
When I try to load these boards I get the following message:
Failed to install platform: ‘esp8266:esp8266:2.0.0’.
Error: 2 UNKNOWN: Get “https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/releases/download/0.4.6/esptool-0.4.6-win32.zip”: proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup _: no such host
My question is: How can I load these boards? Has someone the same problem?
Thank you in advance

Hi Sara,
Just when in the Library Manager appear Libraries ESP8266 and I click in the button “INSTALL”
Sara Santos Staff answered 10 months ago
You need to install it in the Boards Manager menu, not in the Libraries manager.
Please double-check the screenshots https://randomnerdtutorials.com/installing-esp8266-nodemcu-arduino-ide-2-0/

Please excuse my mistake. I really mean boards manager, not library manager. Aniway, I’ll follow your indications.
Thanks a lot.

Hi, Sara
No, it didn’t work. I get the following message:

Hi.
I never faced that issue before.
I think it is because there was some sort of bug during copy paste. I think your URL on the “Additional Boards Manager URL” field is wrong.
Try copy it from here:
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.jsonRegards,

Hi Sara,
My problem is over!
I was prompted by Arduino for installing IDE 3.2.3 – I did and the ESP8266 boards were loaded without problem.
Thank you very much for your advice.
