Each Linux has its own package manager, while the simplified version of Linux on maxcompute my book World Edition uses the lightweight package management system-ipkg. Ipkg is designed for Linux on devices with limited storage capabilities, such as handheld computers.ProgramFor example, mobile phones and PDAs for Embedded Linux. Here, LD briefly describes how to use ipkg to install and uninstall the software.

Before executing the following command, enter the Linux System of the box through SSH. The following operations use root permission and Su conversion permission. The box must be accessible to the internet!
