OPKG Package Archive (.ipk)

OPKG (OpenPkg) is a package manager used for embedded devices like routers, media players, cameras, or IoT devices with limited resources running on Linux-based operating systems. An IPK package contains files needed for applications to run on these devices, configuration files, and metadata. These files are usually created to simplify and automate the installation process for a specific application.

To open or install an IPK package, you need to have Opkg installed on your system. You can install it on Debian or Ubuntu-based systems with the following command:

sudo apt-get install opkg

Once you have OPKG installed, you can install an IPK package on your system using the following command:

opkg install /path/to/your/file.ipk
