Hello, I would like to use Banana Pi R3 - BPI-R3, I installed openwrt in emmc (I found detailed instructions) and I hope it succeeded, but I am at a loss without luci and I don't know how to do it. I would really like to ask for detailed instructions on how to install LuCI. Please and thank you.
Where did you found what kind of instructions?
What did you install, a snapshot version?

install luci, but when opkg update it says -ash: opkg: not found

It's sometimes difficult when one uses instructions that were created more than 1,5 years ago.
Especially when one hasn't got any experience with OpenWrt.
So, there're (at least) 2 solutions:
-
Instead of a snapshot image, use a stable image (23.05.5 at this time).
With this you can follow the rest of the instructions as with the previous image.
Advantages: A stable release with LuCI already built in. -
A little while ago, opkg was replaced by apk (see here).
You could try to download and install LuCI with the new tool.
I'd go with the first solution, since snapshots might or might not have issues whereas stable releases are much better tested.

have you tried
apk update
apk add luci
?
Thank you very much, the new image worked 100% and the desired Luci is there too. Thank you for the useful advice
it said -ash: opkg: not found and already solved (elder_tinkerer)
Very good.
If the problem is solved, please mark it so.
See this fine description, on how to do this.
I really don't know how to do it.
Just click on the 'this fine' in my previous post or go directly to
and follow the instructions.
You should've used
apk update
not
opkg update
