Error: Exit status 1 on brand new arduino nano every

Hi I'm attempting to run a strandtest of a strip of 60 neopixels in a arduino nano every but I'm not being able to upload the sketch and get the following message:

Sketch uses 3984 bytes (12%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 41 bytes (2%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2007 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

I've checked with 2 different cables and different ports they all work,
I've checked in the device manager what the correct port is and selected that as well.

I was trying to follow this guy's tutorial but I cant get the strandtest to work:

Arduino Nano Every
Board: Arduino Nano
Port: COM 4 (Arduino Nano Every)
Processor: ATMega328P
Programmer: USBTinyISP

There's your problem. You have an Nano Every with a 4809, not a Nano with a 328P.

Do you have a core installed that supports the Every (either Arduino megaAVR or MegaCoreX)?

I thought it was weird but it didn't show me anything else in the options I assumed it was something different

I got the megacorex and now it's working!

Thank you so much!
