I have uncommented all the lines in /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf, and the LuCI packages seem to download correctly. However, the installation fails at the end with the error shown in the following image.

Hi,
I tried to install LuCI on my Omega2+ running OpenWrt 18.06, but the installation failed due to a missing dependency (libiwinfo-lua). I ran opkg update but still couldn't install it.

Hi , I'm still new to using the command line and facing some difficulties, so I’d like to use LuCI as a simpler graphical interface — mainly to help me run and manage the OLSR daemon.
Is it possible to install and run LuCI on the omega2+ without conflicting with Onion OS? Since both use the web interface , will there be any issues or is there a recommended way to make both work side by side?
Also, if this is possible, will I lose access to the GPIO pins?
Thanks!

Hi again, I'm still new to using the command line and facing some difficulties, so I’d like to use LuCI as a simpler graphical interface — mainly to help me run and manage the OLSR daemon.

@crispyoz Thank you! I will review the documentation and try to implement it. If I run into any issues, I'll ask for your help.

@crispyoz I appreciate your suggestion! Since I am working on an academic project at my university, it is a requirement from my department that I first demonstrate that OLSR is running practically and that data can be transmitted between devices using this protocol. This step is mandatory before moving on to further stages. Therefore, I need to focus entirely on achieving this goal at this stage, as I do not have the option to approach it differently. I understand that building from source could provide deeper insights, and I might consider it in the later stages when analyzing the code.
Your guidance in getting the protocol up and running on multiple devices would be incredibly valuable to me, and I truly appreciate any help you can provide.

@crispyoz I would like to share a complete overview of what I am working on so that you can better understand my goals and provide guidance. I have a study project involves three main steps:

1. Running OLSR on multiple devices: I aim to set up OLSR on five devices and enable message exchange between them using the protocol. I need to observe these messages in any possible way to verify the protocol's functionality.

2.Analyzing results and modifying OLSR settings: After recording the initial results, I plan to change the OLSR configuration settings and examine their impact on the network behavior. I have learned that the configuration file located at (/etc/config/olsrd2) can be used for this purpose.

3.Understanding the OLSR source code: Once the first two steps are successfully completed, the next phase involves exploring the protocol's source code, understanding its classes, and analyzing its implementation. The goal is to extract a methodology from this analysis to aid in designing and implementing other similar routing protocols.

@crispyoz I sincerely appreciate your detailed responses to my inquiries. Your insights have been incredibly helpful, and I truly value the time and effort you put into explaining things.

I have now installed OONF-OLSRd2, but I am unsure how to actually start using it. Specifically, how can I send messages between multiple devices (e.g., temperature data) to observe how the OLSR protocol operates? I am working with Python, I would appreciate any guidance on how to integrate it into my setup.

@crispyoz What is the function of ipip package? I tried to install it and the result was as shown in the picture.(Note: I installed the second version of olsr package which is oonf-olsrd2 insted of olsrd.)
