I am running the Arduino IDE on an Ubuntu subsystem and have successfully gotten it working with an Arduino Uno (uploading the sketch to the board and everything, totally works) and I am now trying to set it up with an esp8266,
I have followed this instruction exactly:
https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html#instructions-other-os
and I am using the explanations of commands from here:
// Generate a manpage with: a2x -f manpage manpage.adoc
// or HTML with: a2x -f xhtml manpage.adoc
//
// This file uses {empty}:: in some places, to allow putting multiple
// paragraphs inside a single label list item. This is a bit ugly and
// non-semantic, but it seems this is the best way to do this. Asciidoc
// also supports putting a plus sign on a line by itself to join two
// paragraphs into a single list item. However, the indentation on the
// second paragraph makes that formatted with a fixed-size font.
// Removing the indentation completely makes the asciidoc source very
// unreadable. Also, for the --board option, there is a a paragraph,
// followed by a list, followed by another paragraph. The + approach can
// only put the latter paragraph into the inner list, not the outer
// one...

This file has been truncated. show original
but I just can't get this working
When I run this command:
arduino --upload blinky.ino --board esp8266com:avr:ESP8266_GENERIC --port /dev/ttyS6 --verbose-upload
it returns this error:
Error: esp8266com: Unknown package
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
