Install ESP8266 Board to Arduino IDE

With ESP8266 Board installed on Arduino IDE, we can program ESP8266 modules as a standalone microcontroller/board, as simple as program Arduino.

Seven years later, thanks for the help. :)

Tried setting up the Arduino IDE environment for ESP board, did both the steps that are:
1. Installing/copying the library and tools folders mentioned in the Latest Blynk library link in the mail.
2. Selecting Nodemcu 1.0 after installing ESP8266 board files and the correct port.

After this setup I am getting an error which says:

"Multiple libraries were found for "ESP8266WiFi.h"
Used:
Multiple libraries were found for "BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h"
Used:
fork/exec no such file or directory
Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).
"
Please help me to set up the environment correctly.
Thanks in advance.
