Where is nmap? Seems missing form the available packages

Software SW tweaks

I’d like to install nmap on my router. But opkg can’t find it (nor can LuCI of course). I think it’s available on OpenWRT:

http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/packages/packages/

And I could try install that, but I’m curious why Turris OS doesn’t have it in its package repo?

But:

# opkg install nmap
Unknown package 'nmap'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package nmap.

and:

Can you repeat second command and report results?

Did you opkg update ?

The NMAP package is here for Turris 1.x and here for Turris Omnia.

Try to add the “https://repo.turris.cz/omnia/packages/packages” path to the “/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf” file as a custom package feed and then try type “opkg update” and “opkg install nmap” to the command line (via SSH)

I have turris Omnia. I did run opkg update and then installing was working.
So you do not need to add anything as custom package.

Thanks, just tried that too and it worked! Doh! I tend to associate opkg update with new things on the scene, and perceived nmap as an old friend, not a new kid on the block, hence didn’t even think to try that. It’s what I’d do if someone said “hey there’s this new tool to …” and if opkg didn’t find it; it, I’d try and update and then ask for a repo if that failed.

But thanks heaps for the pointer!
