An error while trying to use the apk command

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,

I tried the following guide:

I've successfully installed owut with the following command:

~# opkg update
~# opkg install owut

However, when I tried to execute the apk command, I received:

~# apk -U add owut
-ash: apk: not found

I thought I might need to install it before executing the command, but trying to search for apk in opkg returned nothing (opkg search 'apk')

My device:

... doesn't use apk, installing it would be pretty pointless.

Actually the mistake is mine, there's no problem with the docs. it's noted there that:

opkg update  &&  opkg install owut # For 24.10 releases.
apk -U add owut                    # For main SNAPSHOT builds.

so it's my fault.
My apologies

no worries, next major release will use apk instead of opkg.
