First up we need a package installer, ipkg<\/p>\n

Check the Synology device for which cpu it has,<\/p>\n

[text]\n#cat \/proc\/cpuinfo | grep cpu\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
Then select the appropriate script<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

and get it with<\/p>\n
[text]\n#wget http:\/\/your_selected_cpu_bootstrap_script_here\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
then run it with<\/p>\n
[text]\n#sh your_selected_cpu_bootstrap_script_here\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
This install ipkg, but it is not in the path for the Synology system. To add it to the path:<\/p>\n
1. check the path<\/p>\n
[text]\n#cat \/etc\/profile\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
and this should be there<\/p>\n
[text]\nPATH=\/sbin:\/bin:\/usr\/sbin:\/usr\/bin:\/usr\/syno\/sbin:\/usr\/syno\/bin:\/usr\/local\/sbin:\/usr\/local\/bin export PATH\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
extend the path to include our \/opt directories with two command lines<\/p>\n
[text]\n# PATH=\/opt\/bin:\/opt\/sbin:$PATH\n# export PATH\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
Then we can test that ipkg is installed and will run from anywhere with<\/p>\n
[text]\n# ipkg -v\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
Should respond with something like<\/p>\n
[text]\n# ipkg version 0.99.163\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
If you now try to install a package, you will get an error<\/p>\n
[text]\n#ipkg install mc\nNothing to be done\nAn error ocurred, return value: 4.\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
Which is ok, this is expected because the new install does not yet know where to look for ‘mc’<\/p>\n
Note: ‘mc’ is just a favourite package of mine, (midnight commander, with the excellent mcedit editor) but you could try any packge you want like ‘nano’, etc.<\/p>\n
The final step for installing ipkg is to update the repositories<\/p>\n
[text]\n# ipkg update\n[\/text]<\/pre>\n
Then try again and as ipkg now has a repository to call on, it should find the install package and install it.<\/p>\n
Much Later: Corrected a couple of text errors, thanks to all who pointed them out!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
