Esp8266 by ESP8266 Community

I have been trying to use the ESP8266 module within the Arduino IDE. I want to drive the ILI9341 TFT display module from the 8266. I cannot.

Lately, using Boards Manager I have tried to download, "esp8266 by ESP8266 Community", and I have not been able to do this.

Can someone help me?

Go to the Espressif support page for the Arduino core and follow the instructions there.

after you have added this

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

To the File->Preferences->additional boards manager, close & re-open the IDE
Got to Tools->Board Manager, and look for the ESP8266 core and install a version of it. Some people favor older versions, but i know of no known issues on the newer ones (other than that they are growing in size)
then select the board you are trying to use. What board is it ?
