It's not possible to find esp32 boards using IDE with Additional Boards Manager URLs.

@lbernstone this is an obsolete method, the new Arduino way to do is using the boardsmanager.additional.urls,

It is not possible (yet) to get the ESP32 the usual Arduino IDE way. Hope it will be implemented some time.

I don't really get how to make it work, can you explain it a little bit detailed.

arduino --pref boardsmanager.additional.urls="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/master/package/package_esp32_index.template.json" --save-prefs
arduino --install-boards esp32:esp32
