Where is 'there'?
Have you tried (re)installing a suitable core (e.g. GitHub - SpenceKonde/ATTinyCore: Arduino core for ATtiny 1634, 828, x313, x4, x41, x5, x61, x7 and x8 )?

What is 'it'?
Are you using one of the following ATtiny85 Boards:? If yes, follow the procedures of post #7 of this link .

Hello, the digispark AVR pack for boards of that sort. And there is no other way to use the board.

Have you (re)installed it?
Yes, you can program it through SPI.

The problem is that i can't install it. the board manager is not there.
This board looks like a clone of the original Digispark Board and it should contain the bootloader programmer. Install the driver and check that you can program it.

Ok, let's get back to here:
Can you post a screenshot of where the board manager is supposed to be, but is missing in your case?

Wait wait. I was reading the official page of the board (Whadda), and it said that i needed to dowload a board manager.
Follow the instalation instructions. >>>>
# Supported IDE versions
ATtinyCore (Universal) works with all versions of the official IDE (from arduino.cc ) from version 1.6.11 onwards (we have dropped support for versions prior to the fixes in 1.6.11 in 2.0.0), and it is known that manual installation would never work on older versions because they don't come with a toolchain that supports LTO, and the process of manually updating the toolchain is non-trivial. Plus - those versions are old as the hills now). Version 1.8.13 or newer is recommended. Version 1.9.x versions mostly did not work, however. Version 2.0.4 might work, 2.0.3 does not.
Note also that version 1.7.x versions are from the "other" arduino when arduino.cc and arduino.org got into a some sort of dustup, and arduino.org forked the IDE and increased the minor version to make theirs look newer. No 1.7.x version is supported.
## Boards Manager Installation
This core can be installed using the boards manager. The boards manager URL is:
`http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json`
1. File->Preferences on a PC, or Arduino->Preferences on a Mac, enter the above URL in "Additional Boards Manager URLs
2. Tools -> Boards -> Boards Manager...
3. Select "ATTinyCore by Spence Konde" and click "Install".
## Manual Installation
Option 1: Download the .zip, extract, and place in the hardware folder inside your sketchbook folder (if there is no hardware folder, create it). You can find/set the location of the sketchbook folder in the Arduino IDE at File > Preferences -> Sketchbook location.
