Install openwrt Software
Introduction
Openwrt is a very free open-source router system with thousands of software packages and powerful functions!
There are two main installation methods: Telnet or SSH connection background installation and page installation.
The premise of all the steps below is that the current vro is connected to the Internet!
Telnet or SSH
The original openwrt has no password by default. Only telnet is enabled, but SSH is not enabled. After configuring the user name and password for the first time, telnet is disabled and SSH is enabled. You can connect to the vro at any time, next I will use SSH to connect.
The command for the openwrt management package is opkg. The following is the help of the command.

If you want to install a software package but do not know the specific name, you can use the command to obtain the software package name (opkg list | grep software name) and then install it. For example, if you want to install TFTP
[Plain]View plaincopy
- [Email protected]:/tmp/opkg-lists # opkg list | grep TFTP
- Atftp-0.7-1-TFTP client
- Atftpd-0.7-1-TFTP Server
- Erlang-inets-5.8-Erlang/OTP is a general-purpose programming language and runtimeenvironment. erlang has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance .. this Erlang/otppackage provides a container for Internet clients and servers. currently a FTP client, a httpclient and server, and a TFTP client andserver have been ininitialized in inets.

- Kmod-IPT-nathelper-3.7.10-1-default netfilter (IPv4) conntrack and Nat helpers nodes des:-ftp-IRC-TFTP
- Tftp-hpa-0.48-3-an enhanced version of the bsd tftp client
- Tftpd-HPA-0.48-3-an enhanced version of the bsd tftp Server
Through the above command, I found the name of the desired TFTP server is tftpd-HPA, so that you can use
[Plain]View plaincopy
- # Opkgdownload tftpd-HPA
Download the software package, and then use
[Plain]View plaincopy
- # Opkginstall tftpd-HPA
. You can also directly use
[Plain]View plaincopy
- # Opkg installtftpd-HPA
Will be downloaded first and then automatically installed. Last use
[Plain]View plaincopy
- # Opkglist-installed | grep tftpd-HPA
To check if it is already installed!
Page Installation
