What Does Toltec Do?#

Toltec gives you access to all the packages from the Entware and Toltec repositories. Toltec keeps track of which apps you have installed and makes it easy to update or remove them.

Use the opkg command to add, remove, and update packages from the command line.

opkg update
opkg upgrade
opkg install <package>
opkg remove <package>

Or install nao to manage packages using a graphical interface.
