``https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/download/2.6.0/package_esp8266com_index.json`` and select *OK*.
- Open ``Tools`` → ``Boards...`` → ``Boards Manager...`` and scroll down and click on *esp8266 by ESP8266 Community*. Click the *Install* button to download and install the latest ESP8266 board software. Select *Close*.
### Copy files
- Remove default compile options for floating point ``printf`` and ``scanf`` which are not being used by Tasmota and save 15k code space.
- Replace in Arduino IDE folder ``portable\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.6.0`` file *platform.txt* with the Tasmota Source code file ``arduino\version 2.6.0\platform.txt``.
## Download Tasmota
- Download the latest Tasmota release Source code from https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/releases and unzip to another known folder.
- Download the latest Tasmota release Source code from ``https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/releases`` and unzip to another known folder.
- Copy all files from the Tasmota release Source code folder *lib* into your *sketchbook\libraries* folder.
- About the issue of missing header files and/or libraries while compiling that users had, it is possible that the library folder is in the wrong place. That issue can be happen if you installed your Arduino IDE in a virtual environment. This came up after some tests (6) of an installation in `VM-Ware Workstation 14 Pro - 14.1.1 build-7528167` with not all current updates from VM-Ware. The library folder was placed in **/portable/libraries** and not in **/portable/sketchbook/libraries**. We can't say why that happens but there is the possibilty. So please check it when you get compile errors with missing header files and/or libaries. After updating VM-Ware and a new installation of Arduino IDE 1.8.8 the issue was gone. The installation of Arduino IDE 1.8.8 on windows 7 pro were 100% ok without any issue. Right now the newer version of Arduino IDE is available. Version 1.8.9
- Copy the Tasmota release Source code folder *tasmota* to your *sketchbook*.
