Attiny1614 programming Package installation error

Some indexes could not be updated. Get "http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json": dial tcp connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.: http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json

Hi @harimdg. It looks like this is a universal outage caused by a problem with the drazzy.com server. From the discussions in the issue trackers of various SpenceKonde repos, it appears that DrAzzy is aware of the problem:

As a workaround, you can manually add the package_drazzy.com_index.json package index file to the appropriate location on your computer. I happen to have a copy of it that was downloaded before drazzy.com went down:

package_drazzy.com_index.zip (21.8 KB)

If you would like instructions for installing it, just reply here to let me know which operating system you are using (e.g., "Windows") and I'll provide the instructions.

Thanks for your response. I am using Windows. Could you please help me with instructions for installation

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if the IDE is running.
  2. Click the following link to download the ZIP file containing the package index file:
    package_drazzy.com_index.zip (21.8 KB)
  3. Wait for the download to finish.
  4. Unzip the downloaded file.
  5. Copy the unzipped package_drazzy.com_index.json file to the folder at the following path:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15
    
    (where <username> is your Windows username)
    :exclamation: If looking for it with your file manager or command line, note that the AppData folder is hidden by default. On Windows "File Explorer", you can make it visible by opening the "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".
  6. Start Arduino IDE.
  7. Open the Boards Manager view.
  8. Install the "megaTinyCore" boards platform.
