I uninstalled v4 of the Silicon Labs VCP driver (using the uninstaller.sh script from the zip file below). Then installed the latest driver from this file:
https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/Mac_OSX_VCP_Driver.zip
I did not install the legacy driver. I used "Silicon Labs VCP Driver.pkg" from the main directory of the zip file.

Next, I had to do a fresh install of the Arduino IDE 1.8.5, then followed the same instructions here: https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/mac.md

After I restarted the Arduino IDE, I now saw the M5Stack-Core-ESP32 listed under the Tools > Boards > ESP32 Arduino menu. No need to do anything with the Boards Manager.

Hi, sorry about this. The arduino IDE Borads Manager support is not well.
You try this way to install:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack#m5stack-library

I have tried the instructions for Mac here:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/mac.md

The m5stack still does not show up in Tools > Board > Boards Manager so I can install the M5Stack-Core-ESP32 board.

I'm on a Macbook Pro (15-inch, 2016), running OSX Sierra 10.12.6. Arduino IDE version is 1.8.5. I tried the latest Silicon Labs VCP driver and the legacy v4 driver.

Any ideas?

I can only install from the terminal script.
