Installing with Boards Manager(beta)

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 1.8.2 from the Arduino website.
• Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
• Enter http://www.m5stack.com/download/package_m5stack_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 ESP32 platform (and don't forget to select your ESP32 board from Tools > Board menu after installation).
