Error Installing ESP32 in Arduino IDE

Using Arduino Microcontrollers
1

Hi all,
I have Arduino IDE 1.8.19, Mac Osx Ventura.

following instructions on the Internet, I open Arduino IDE, preferences, additional boards managers URL > and try to paste
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json, http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

It won't let me paste anything. So I type in the Url's, both, or just one. But keep getting " error during downloading from..... "
And there's no ESP32 under board manager.
I can't find a solution.
Thanks.

Really? Cmd-V doesn't work? In that case you must have some special security software installed that prohibits almost everything because that basic functionality actually works on any input field on MacOS.

Sounds like you couldn't copy the error message either (using Cmd-C). In that case your OS is really nailed or completely broken. The URLs you posted work for me, so if they don't work for you, you either made a typo or your Mac doesn't have Internet access.

Thanks pylon, just didn't think of using CMND-V, my bad. Was pasting with right click .... Grr. Works fine.
