I am trying to get my first ESP32 working and following the page https://dronebotworkshop.com/esp32-intro/
It says to add the address https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
into the settings page, this I have done and I get a long list of ESP32 libraries but not the one mentioned in the article.
So I went to the github page containing the library file and downloaded the zip file to load direct into the libraries.
After a long pause I get
Error: 13 INTERNAL: Library install failed: moving extracted archive to destination dir: library not valid
Anybody any idea how I can get the library installed?
Thanks.

There seems to be a misunderstanding. The boards library is
https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json
This gives you a long list of BOARDS. Pick the closest one (NOTE they are NOT in alpha sequence)
Which do you have?
After that I have no idea what you did but suffice to say you are in no mans land.
After you get this boards situation resolved (difficulty = 1) then you can start to choose a library or libraries for your project. Just select the 'library book' icon and enter a key word to narrow the list.
