With preferences open, instead of putting rfduino.com as the Server proxy, you can add the JSON file to "Additional Boards Manager URLs:". From this depo, that URL is: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BocuStudio/RFduino/master/package_rfduino_index.json
- Open the Boards Manager under Tools->Board menu.
- Select the RFduino package at the end of the list, and click Install to install it.
