Install the OpenWISP OpenWrt Agents
-----------------------------------

We recommend installing the latest versions of the OpenWISP packages.
Download them onto your device from `downloads.openwisp.io
<http://downloads.openwisp.io/>`__ and then install them as follows:
Install the OpenWISP agents on OpenWrt with:

.. code-block::

cd /tmp
# openwrt >= 25.12
apk update
apk install openwisp-config openwisp-monitoring

# WARNING: the URL may change over time, so verify the correct URL
# from downloads.openwisp.io

wget https://downloads.openwisp.io/openwisp-config/latest/openwisp-config_1.1.0-1_all.ipk
wget https://downloads.openwisp.io/openwisp-monitoring/latest/netjson-monitoring_0.2.1-1_all.ipk
wget https://downloads.openwisp.io/openwisp-monitoring/latest/openwisp-monitoring_0.2.1-1_all.ipk
opkg install ./openwisp-config_1.1.0-1_all.ipk
opkg install ./netjson-monitoring_0.2.1-1_all.ipk
opkg install ./openwisp-monitoring_0.2.1-1_all.ipk
# openwrt <= 24.10
opkg update
opkg install openwisp-config openwisp-monitoring

.. note::

If ``wget`` doesn't work (e.g., SSL issues), you can use ``curl`` or
alternatively download the packages onto your machine and upload them
to your device via ``scp``.
To use the latest features available, we recommend downloading and
installing the latest builds published on `downloads.openwisp.io
<https://downloads.openwisp.io/>`__.

Once the agents are installed on your OpenWrt device, let's ensure they
can connect to OpenWISP successfully.
