I followed this guide to program AtTiny using Arduino as ISP. The problem is that it has some file missing:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\...\arduino-1.6.8\hardware\attiny\variants\platform.txt

The attiny directory is clone of this repository. How do I make it work?

The way of adding boards has changed in the newer version.

Try finding a tutorial for 1.6, or download the older 1.0 version.

I tried to find up to date tutorials and what I found is linked in my question. I think this answer would better qualify as a comment since it's like link-only, but without the link... – Tomáš Zato Mar 13 at 16:50
    
The tutorial was using version 1.0, while you are using 1.6.8. That is why you are getting the error. So that is an answer. PS The tutorial is more than 4 years old, and the github repo is from 2011. – Gerben Mar 13 at 17:12
