using ipkg on LaFonera
The ipkg utility is a lightweight package manager used to download and install OpenWrt packages from the internet. (GNU/Linux users familiar with apt-get will recognise the similarities)
The firmware itself is designed to occupy as little space as possible while still providing a reasonably friendly command line interface or web administration interface. With no packages installed, OpenWrt will configure the network interfaces, setup a basic NAT firewall, a secure shell server, a DNS forwarder and DHCP server.
Command | Description |
ipkg update | Download a list of packages available |
ipkg list | View the list of packages |
ipkg install dropbear | Install the dropbear package |
ipkg remove dropbear | Remove the dropbear package |
More options can be found via ipkg --help.
The configuration file for ipkg is /etc/ipkg.conf. Before you can install any addon package, you need to freshen the package list with
root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg update
