For those who are having trouble with fatal error  ESP8266WiFi h  No such file or directory  you can install the package manually   Download the Arduino ESP8266 core from here https   github com esp8266 Arduino Go into library from the downloaded core and grab ESP8266WiFi  Drag that into your local Arduino library folder  This can be found by going into preferences and looking at your Sketchbook location  You may still need to have the http   arduino esp8266 com stable package esp8266com index json package installed beforehand  however  Edit  That wasn t the full issue  you need to make sure you have the correct ESP8266 Board selected before compiling  Hope this helps others
