Just bought one of these tiny little boards as I have a specific task that only needs 2 pins. It plugs into the USB port and flashes but I cannot find any options for ATTINY in the IDE. No USB port appears for it either. I've just downloaded 1.6.4 but I also have 1.0.5 and other versions on the computer. I'm running MacOS Lion and Windows 10.
So....
What do I select in the ports list?
Should ATTINY85 or ATTINY appear in the board list?
Do I program normally as per say a 328 ?
You will need to install the core files to support the attiny as well as use some form of ISP programmer (eg. Uno as ISP) to program the actual board.
Have a look through this thread for more info
I have a digispark TINY85, maybe the same as you got.
I found infos, software, tutorials via:

Thanks. It fails to upload on my computer but it is a 2012 MBP and apparently the ATTINY doesn't like the MBP's USB3 so I'll try tomorrow with my PC.
