   Install Arduino 1.6.8 from the Arduino website. Start Arduino and open Preferences window.

   Enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_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).

3. Copy the libraries inside the Libraries folder into your Arduino library folder (.../Documents/Arduino/libraries)
