Description

I tried a 'Manual' installation of Deauther 2.7.2 and failed.

The IDE report:

Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install platform: installing platform deauther:esp8266@2.7.2: testing local archive integrity: testing archive checksum: archive hash differs from hash in index

Research direction
The issue reports a hash mismatch during manual installation of deauther:esp8266@2.7.2. The likely cause is an incorrect hash in the package index file. Locate the index file (e.g., package esp8266com index.json) in the repository or related tooling, find the entry for version 2.7.2, compute the SHA256 hash of the actual archive, and update the stored hash. Also verify the archive integrity by downloading it manually. The fix is a one line change in the index file.
