Esp32cam board not in IDE

Hello All,
I am trying to load a test program (blink) onto my new esp32cam. I am unable to find an esp32 board in the arduino IDE ver 1.8.19 I tried the boards manager to no avail. Does anyone know how I can find this board in the IDE or how to find it and load it into the IDE?

Have you installed the ESP32 board files ?

This is a helpful tutorial: ESP32-CAM - Getting Started & Solving Common Problems

After you have installed the ESP32 board files as mentioned above you should find it, way down in the list at least in my case, as 'AI Thinker ESP32-CAM'.

Finally found it in the boards manager, had to dig pretty deep to find it. Thank you!

You type faster than me.

Thank you all for the help. I will check out the link provided by jremington. I find dronebot workshop to be very helpful quite often. Have a great day All!
