It's very easy to install ESP8266 in Arduino IDE

Open Preferences from File Menu
Click the button near to Additional Board URLs
There paste http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
If you already have some text in it, paste in new line
Click OK on both windows

Once this is done, we need to install ESP8266 from Board Manager

Open Board Manager from Tools Menu
Search for esp8266 and install it.

The latest version seems to have some problems, so we are using version 2.5.0

Do not forget to select Generic ESP8266 Module from the Board Manager as shown below
