I am not able to find any information on how to install plugins. Can someone point me to where the directions are? I have been searching for awhile now and only can find a list of plugins, not the actual directions.

1. Copy the plugin file to the /config/plugins directory on your flash drive

2. Telnet to your box and execute installplg /boot/config/plugins/pluginname.plg (or reboot)

3. You should be done

 

edit: fixed typo

I didn't have that directory so I have created it. However, I am running into an issue. When I try running the install command, I get a message that it is a bad command. Or if I reboot, the plugins I am trying are all saying  bad download, deleting. Any ideas?

What command are you using?

What plugin are you trying to install?

What exactly does the error message say?

Trying both CrashPlan, CrashPlan GUI and OpenSSH.

 

I have tried Installplg /boot/config/plugins/CrashPlan_3.0.3_Linux.plg and also the same for OpenSHH but with that plg file instead of CrashPlan.

 

Both come back saying: -bash: Installplg: command not found

 

Here is the log after a reboot:

The command should be "installplg ...", not "Installplg ..."

my mistake, try writing installplg and not Installplg.

Ah cool, it is taking it. Should have thought of that, I'm not a Linux guy though. But I am learning as i run into things like this.
