Not sure if I am missing something but I could not find much on the installation of other packages on the Kong Mods, is there a way? I would like to install perl to do a little tinkering.
I saw it somehow was linked inside the /usr/bin directory of latest version but is a dead link. Any information would be great.
Hey there, I recently wanted to do the same thing. After a lot of searching, I found a very easy solution! It might depend on your build though. Here's what to do:
It took me days to find out this very simple info, I hope that it saves you or someone else that time! p.s. I'm using build v3.0-r30870M kongac on Netgear R7000.
DD-WRT v3.0-r30880 std (11/14/16)
Linux 4.4.32-rc1 #1576 SMP Mon Nov 14 10:28:24 CET 2016 armv7l
Thanks,
Hi Stanly, I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Mine is definitely a Kong build, this is the article that gave me the idea to try it: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=263675
The script in my case is in /bin/bootstrap. If you don't have it, you could try creating it yourself and doing what it does. However I have no idea if this will work with your build, so try at your own risk!
Good luck!
Here's the script itself:
Holy! I was looking for hours last night, have hdd with \opt mounted and Voila! 'bootstrap' commmand initiated opkg installer and all is good. Kind of wish this important step could be listed under the main tips page (R7000 34015m dec-17 release)
Thanks for this easy fix of missing opkg :)
