- Download the tool: https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin/releases/download/0.3.0/ESP8266FS-0.3.0.zip.
**Warning**: Due to the move from the obsolete esptool-ck.exe to the
supported esptool.py upload tool, upgraders from pre 2.5.1 will need to
update the ESP8266FS tool referenced below to 0.4.0 or later. Prior versions
will fail with a "esptool not found" error because they don't know how to
use esptool.py.

- Download the tool: https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin/releases/download/0.4.0/ESP8266FS-0.4.0.zip
- In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create ``tools`` directory if
it doesn't exist yet
- Unpack the tool into ``tools`` directory (the path will look like
``<home_dir>/Arduino/tools/ESP8266FS/tool/esp8266fs.jar``)
If upgrading, overwrite the existing JAR file with the newer version.
- Restart Arduino IDE
- Open a sketch (or create a new one and save it)
- Go to sketch directory (choose Sketch > Show Sketch Folder)
