I keep Getting Error: Property line - when I upload sketch

Hello

I Just installed 1.8.3 Arduino IDE and even when I run the Basic Blink sketch example I get this error:

Property line ’ # See: http://code.google.com/p/arduino/wiki/Platforms’ in file /opt/arduino-1.8.3/hardware/arduino/avr/boards.txt is invalid

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

Now I dont know about (Genuino Uno) but I have a UNO Board for shore.

Even when I switch to my Mega2560 I get the same error.

I Just cant figure out why I’m getting this error.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Cheers!

Why not use the “code” formatting tool available here to post your code directly?

//example of where to place code

R

I didnt think the problem had anything to do with the code. I was basically just running the consoleRead example from the Board optrion in the examples menu in the IDE itself.

the problem started to occur after I did this install step here.

2)Add a “Uno Yun” board type in the file: Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\board.txt. as below and reopen the Arduino IDE:

unoyun.name=Arduino Uno – Dragino Yún

unoyun.upload.via_ssh=true

unoyun.vid.0=0x2341

unoyun.pid.0=0x0043

unoyun.vid.1=0x2341

unoyun.pid.1=0x0001

unoyun.upload.tool=avrdude

unoyun.upload.protocol=arduino

unoyun.upload.maximum_size=32256

unoyun.upload.maximum_data_size=2048

unoyun.upload.speed=57600

unoyun.upload.disable_flushing=true

unoyun.upload.use_1200bps_touch=true

unoyun.upload.wait_for_upload_port=true

unoyun.bootloader.tool=avrdude

unoyun.bootloader.low_fuses=0xff

unoyun.bootloader.high_fuses=0xde

unoyun.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x05

unoyun.bootloader.file=optiboot/optiboot_atmega328.hex

unoyun.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F

unoyun.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F

unoyun.build.mcu=atmega328p

unoyun.build.f_cpu=16000000L

unoyun.build.board=AVR_YUN

unoyun.build.core=arduino

unoyun.build.variant=standard

after I did this, it didnt matter what code I was running cuzz I still got the same error.
