Connect Arduino to Blynk with ESP8266

so I got my Arduino Uno today. For a porject I want to be able to control some relays on my Arduino via Wifi (via Blynk app). For this I want to use the ESP8266-01 as a Wifi shield.

I used this tutorial: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/nolan-mathews/connect-to-blynk-using-esp8266-as-arduino-uno-wifi-shield-m1-46a453

Only difference is I'm using Win10. Here is what I got:

Okay, first problem is that I couldnt flash the Firmware of the ESP (got it from Sunfounder) as said in the Tutorial. Downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it with ESP8266Flasher.

Other Problem that is when I try to compile the code from the first tutorial, I always get error :

C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Blynk\examples\Boards_WiFi\ESP8266_Shield\ESP8266_Shield.ino:5:21: fatal error: ESP8266.h: No such file or directory

As said I have installed all libraries. Cant really think of things to do anymore. Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards from Berlin, Chris. To close the code I try to upload to the board (both Arduino Board or generic ESP8266 does not work)

//#define BLYNK_DEBUG
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial  // Comment this out to disable prints and    save space
#include <ESP8266.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleShieldEsp8266.h>
// Set ESP8266 Serial object
#define EspSerial Serial
ESP8266 wifi(EspSerial);
// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "???";
void setup()
{
 Serial.begin(115200);  // Set console baud rate
 delay(10);
 EspSerial.begin(115200);  // Set ESP8266 baud rate
 delay(10);
 Blynk.begin(auth, wifi, "???",
"???");
}
void loop()
{
 Blynk.run();
}

The ??? I switched for my token and data ofc.

Try changing this

#include <ESP8266.h>

to this

#include <ESP8266_Lib.h>

The file was renamed in this commit.
