Hi im just trying out arduino as a beginner and i've been using examples provided in arduino which is Blink.
Im currently using esp8266 ESP-12E
This is the error messages:
Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Legacy (new can return nullptr), All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 4MB (FS:2MB OTA:~1019KB), 2, v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, All Flash Contents, 115200"

Hi @irfan_syahmi. Did you put in the link for esp8266 in preferences (Here is the preferences link)? Try using another USB and another port? If that doesn't work, close Arduino. Then head over to C:/users/{your username}/documents/ArduinoData/Packages and delete the folder that says esp8266. Re-open Arduino and then try to re-install esp8266 from the library. If that doesn't work, then uninstall Arduino and re-install it. I hope that solved your problem. If you have any other questions please put mention @scooter_arduino613 in the forum, and I will be glad to help you.
