Installing third party packages

Disclaimer

Third party packages are such that are not part of the open source WTOFS project and as such are not listed in the configurator, you can still download and install these as shown below however please note we offer no support, advice or guarantee of functionally when using packages not part of the WTOFS configurator. For support you will have to contact the author of the package directly.

Installation

Installing 3rd party packages that are not in the official repository can be done via CLI tab in the configurator.

The procedure is the same for any ipk package you want to use, download and install:

cd /tmp
export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8089"
wget http://github.com/$USER/$PROJECT/releases/download/$VERSION/$NAME.ipk
opkg install $NAME.ipk

Note that the protocol must be http, not https. The configurator will actually download the package over https, this is required for working with opkg.
