Buffalo Linkstation Install Optware Ipkg
To install a compiled/binary program you need to copy the binary file(s) in to a folder on your NAS, give the file(s) execution permission and then execute them. You can do this process manually as described below, but in most cases it is recomended you use a package management system like ipkg (as detailed below).
To make the installation, update and removal process of software easier the computing industry adopted the principle of the Package Management System. ipkg is a dpkg-inspired, very lightweight Itsy Package Management System for small Linux systems and embedded devices, such as the Synology Servers. ipkg is often the easiest and most reliable way to install compiled binaries. Additionally ipkg will only use specified sources for binary packages, these sources are processor specific. Consequently you do not need to worry about "What kind of CPU does my NAS have" when selecting a program/package to install, ipkg will effectively do this for you.
ipkg is also dependant on a few other software bits and pieces that are not installed on the synology servers. Consequently to install ipkg you need to use the appropriate bootstrap which automates the installation of ipkg and the other packages it needs.
After you have installed ipkg (see the bootstrap section below), you can install ipkg packages of programs using the command "ipkg install xxxx" where xxxx is the name of the package. Once the package is installed you can run it using "xxxx" where xxxx is the name of the program you just installed (this is normally the same as the package name, but not always).
You may want to check the forum to see if there are any latter bootstraps than those given below. However the ones below have been widely used and are known to work. If you are an experienced linux user the page How to Install Bootstrap gives clear instructions how to install ipkg, you may find it more concise and therefore quicker to follow than the more detailed information provided below for beginers.
Note: ipkg expects to find your ipkg files/programs in the path "/opt". As the synology NAS's put all your files in "/volume1" the bootstraps put your IPKG files/programs in "/volume1/@optware" but then mount this directory so it ALSO appears as "/opt". Hence, do not think that "/volume1/@optware" and "/opt" are duplicated files, they are not duplicated, they are in fact exactly the same directory.
You can now compile source code applications directly on the Synology Server. First install ipkg using the [ Bootstrap ]. Now you can log into the command line and install all the tools necessary to perform local builds in one step:
A serial can also be referred to as a CD Key. To make sure the process was successful, you should. Check the gateway & dns-servers to be valid. The installation often requires the user to enter a valid serial number to proceed. After a few seconds the LEDs are off again and the. Linux file system, and replace the root password there.
