How do I install Nano text editor

[alienheartbeat]

Hi

I recently bought a RUTX11, my first Teltonika router,
and am just starting to configure it.

On my other openwrt routers I have installed nano,
but when I do opkg update on the RUTX11, nano is not available as a package.

I assume this is because opkg is pointing toward a special rutos repository,
rather than the standard openwrt repository.
(RUTOS version is 07.06.3)

How do I get access to and install nano?
(apologies, I like vi even less than I like fried rat-tails cooked in garlic).

Hello,

If you want to install extra packages not found in our repositories, you can do so using the default OpenWrt ones. Here are the steps:

1. First, update the OpenWrt repositories by running:

opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update

2. Then, install the nano editor by running:

opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf install nano

After completing these steps, Nano should be installed and ready to use on your system.

Best regards,

Wonderful, solved two problems in one
(the other one being how to use the openwrt repos).
Thanks very much.
