Updated 7/25/2020 (See first post): Removed need for custom distfeeds.conf - All repos are static from here on out.

Installing packages and making the Shield do things:

Go to System | Software, Click Update Lists.

Let it do it's thing, and then it'll finish and you'll have a enormous list of opks..  The binary repo is 1.4Gb in size..

Let's do some basic things to help you get accustomed to how this works.

In the Filter box, put: luci-theme



You'll see a few available.  The Bootstrap theme is not the best, I'm partial to the new 2020 theme.  Select one you want, click Install.



And, let it finish..



Congrats!  You've installed your first opkg!  To turn it on, go to System | System | Language and Style

You may also want to install the luci-app-commands package, as this will allow you to execute shell commands from the luci interface.   It isn't an interactive terminal, but it'll pipe to shell..



Next: Something more advanced - with hints..
