====== Entware Installation and Usage ======

\\ [[https://entware.net/about.html|Entware]] is a software repository for network attached storage, routers and other embedded devices. [[http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.html|2500+ packages]] are available for different platforms. Entware packages are full versions of programs/commands found in common Linux distributions. You can expand upon the BusyBox versions of commands included with FreshTomato and install packages not already installed. This allows you to "//push the limits//" of your router.

For more details on how to use Entware, see: [[https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki#using-repo|The Entware Wiki]]

There you can also find current, in-depth instructions for installing Entware in FreshTomato: [[https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki/Install-on-TomatoUSB-and-FreshTomato#entware-on-freshtomato-and-other-tomatousb-forks|Entware on FreshTomato (and other TomatoUSB forks)]]
