Trying to run a shell script to install AdGuard VPN CLI for linux
Installed nano and saved adguardvpn.sh
I cannot seem to execute the script? I am trying to install AdGuard VPN CLI.
root@OpenWrt:~# ls
adguardvpn.sh
root@OpenWrt:~# . /adguardvpn.sh
-ash: .: can't open '/adguardvpn.sh': No such file or directory
root@OpenWrt:~#
Router is a client
Extroot to USB
AdGuard Home installed
try
chmod +x ~/adguardvpn.sh
./adguardvpn.sh
That worked. Thank you.
Now it does seem I have to change every curl command in the script before I can run it all the way through!
You can also try installing curl
I'm not familiar with the script itself, but I was pretty confident that the initial error was related to the lack of execute permissions.
If your problem is solved, please consider marking this topic as [Solved]. See How to mark a topic as [Solved] for a short how-to.
Thanks! 
I was considering installing curl, but there were a few warnings about installing it.
Is it an opkg?
Yes, it is an opkg.
I have installed it and run the instructions from:
AdGuard VPN
Now the error is:
root@OpenWrt:~# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuard

opkg update
opkg install curl
OpenWrt only has root user - no sudo installed (not needed).
So should I delete every reference to "sudo" in the SH?
Yes. sudo doesn't apply in OpenWrt (unless you have added multi-user functionality which is uncommon and usually unnecessary)
By both installing curl and adding permissions (with removing all instances of sudo in the script) everything seems to have installed succesfully!

You can use it by running command:

Much credit to the both of you!
Tad unrelated, but the app is saying it cannot run in the background, and to try running with sudo:

Try running with ampersand at the end.

Not really OpenWrt-specific - this disconnects the executed command from the console.
Same issue with & at the end

Edit: also there is an official Adguard Home package for OpenWrt - why not use it?
opkg install adguardhome
I have already installed AdGuard Home. I am trying to install AdGuard VPN (IKEv2 Client)
I see. Then please

Not sure this will work but worth a try, I guess.
