 - Install the current upstream Arduino IDE at the 1.8 level or later. The current version is on the [Arduino website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software).
-- Go to Arduino directory
-  - For Mac OS X, it is `Arduino.app` showing as the Arduino icon.  
-    This location may be your `~/Downloads`, `~/Desktop` or even `/Applications`.
-    ```bash
-    cd <application-directory>/Arduino.app/Contents/Java
-    ```
-  - For Linux, it is ~/Arduino by default.
-    ```bash
-    cd ~/Arduino
-    ```
-- Clone this repository into hardware/esp8266com/esp8266 directory (or clone it elsewhere and create a symlink)
-```bash
-cd hardware
-mkdir esp8266com
-cd esp8266com
-git clone https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git esp8266
-cd esp8266
-git submodule update --init
-```
-- Download binary tools (you need Python 2.7)
-```bash
-cd esp8266/tools
-python get.py
-```
-- Restart Arduino
