Package Link : https://github.com/immortalwrt/wwan-packages/tree/master/applications/luci-app-3ginfo-lite
I tried this command on PUTTY

ImmortalWrt is not the same as OpenWrt. If you are using official OpenWrt and trying to install a package from the ImmortalWrt repo, it probably will not work.
That said, regardless if your situation fits the description above or you are actually running ImmortalWrt, you need to ask them for help since it is not from the official OpenWrt project.

Dear
There are many of packages are not from OpenWrt and not listed on their list of package . I passed to install them and they worked fine ..... where these packages were ipk
Package name was : luci-app-interfaces-statistics]
When you try to install packages that are from other repos, it may or may not work... it depends on the details of the package and its dependencies.
But, when problems arise installing a package that is from an external source, you need to ask the maintainers of the repo/package for help.

Dude , There is no problem with package .... The issue I don't know how to install that package on OpenWrt from Github. ... either to help me with steps or thank you let other people help me ....
Note: No problem if the package doesn't work but at least let me try to go with steps so I know later how I can install any package ....
Dear @psherman Thank you for your fast response ..
How did you get the luci-app-interfaces-statistics installed?
In general, the process is:
download package (often to /tmp/)
install it with the command opkg install </path/to/package>

I found the command of installation was ready for luci-app-interfaces-statistics
Sir , the steps are not clear ... I appreciate more explanation
Why are you using that and not using luci-app-statistics from the software tab?

Dear ,
My target now to install LTE package from github
Okay, how is this install different than the other installs you got before?
Anyway, @psherman told you how to download the package locally and install it locally.
Instead of posting screenshots, please post the results of the commands in text format:
Please use the "Preformatted text </>" button for logs, scripts, configs and general console output.
Meanwhile, you need to download the package on OpenWrt, or copy it to OpenWrt via scp. It has no way to get the package from your computer's path.

Where ? I'm not professional
I'd tell you if I knew where it is; I don't play games.
