If you want to install additional packages on your Synology NAS you first need to install ipkg<\/em>. In this post I\u2019ll explain the steps you need to take to install this package on your Synology NAS.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have terminal access, please enable that first (link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First thing you need to do is determine what kind of CPU your Synology NAS has. The easiest way is looking it up in on the Synology Wiki page (What kind of CPU does my NAS have<\/a>). In case of my DS212+ it\u2019s a Marvell Kirkwood mv6282<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now you know what CPU your Synology NAS has you can find the appropriate bootstrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Now you can install ipkg<\/em> in 8 (or 9 steps):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login to your NAS with username root <\/em>(same password as admin)<\/li>\n
  2. Change the directory to \/root : cd \/root<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Download the bootstrap you found in the above : wget <bootstrap url><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Mark the .xsh script executable : chmod + <name of the bootstap><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Run the .xsh script (this is where you will install the ipkg<\/em> package): sh <name of the bootstrap><\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Remove the .xsh script : <\/span>rm <name of the bootstrap><\/span><\/li>\n
  7. ONLY FOR DSM 4.0 <\/strong>Comment the lines following lines in the file \/root\/.profile\n
