Hi @morgan777. The installation of the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform failed due to timeout occurred during the download.

The duration of the timeout that causes Arduino IDE to cancel a download is configurable. You should be able to work around this problem by configuring a higher timeout value. I'll provide instructions you can follow to do that:

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
    All Arduino IDE windows will close.
  2. Open the file at the following path in any text editor:
    • If you are using Linux:
      /home/<username>/.arduinoIDE/arduino-cli.yaml
      (where <username> is your Linux username)
      • :red_exclamation_mark: The .arduinoIDE folder may be hidden by default in your file manager and terminal.
    • If you are using macOS:
      /Users/<username>/.arduinoIDE/arduino-cli.yaml
      (where <username> is your macOS username)
      • :red_exclamation_mark: The .arduinoIDE folder is hidden by default. You can make it visible by pressing the Command+Shift+. keyboard shortcut.
    • If you are using Windows:
      C:\Users\<username>\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml
      (where <username> is your Windows username)
  3. Add the following content to the arduino-cli.yaml file (or replace the existing content if equivalent content is already present in the file):
    network:
  connection_timeout: 12000s
    ⓘ I arbitrarily chose a timeout value of 12000 seconds. You can adjust this as needed.
  4. Save the file.
  5. Start Arduino IDE.

Now try installing/updating the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform again, just the same as you did before. Hopefully this time it will be successful.

Please provide the full and exact text of the error message you saw. Please make sure to write the exact error message.

Do not paraphrase it in any way. It might seem like extra work, but it will actually save you time in the end, and result in you receiving effective assistance from the forum helpers.

It seems like maybe you have a partial installation of the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform from a previous installation attempt and that is causing the current installation attempt to fail.

Please try this:

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
    All Arduino IDE windows will close.
  2. Start Windows "File Explorer".
  3. Navigate in File Explorer to the folder at the following path on your hard drive:
    C:\Users\sliss\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr
    :red_exclamation_mark: Note that the AppData folder is hidden by default. You can make it visible by opening File Explorer's "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".
  4. Delete the avr folder.
    :warning: Please be careful when deleting things from your computer. When in doubt, back up!
  5. Start Arduino IDE.

Now try installing the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform again, just as you did before. Hopefully it will be successful this time.
