@Kit-Bishop Oh alright. I thought that might be the problem.

I'm new to all this. So how will I get it installed, if you were to build it for me? I don't think i fully understand it all.

Thank you very much, for your help.

@Visti-Stenmo If I were to build a package for you, it would be in the form of an .ipk package file.
As well as installing packages from feeds, opkg can install from a named xxxx.ipk file.
All that would be required would be to copy the package file to the Omega and then run opkg on that file.

Can't guarantee that I will be able to produce a usable package - I am not familiar with the use of luci or json - and there may be some dependency issues that I am currently unaware of - however, I am prepared to give it a go if you want - let me know.

@Kit-Bishop That cleared it up for me. Thanks!

I would really appreciate it, if you want to build it.

Kit Bishop

@Visti-Stenmo Will give it a go for you - may take a while - keep your eyes open for it being posted here

@Kit-Bishop Thank you very much. You've been very helpful

@Visti-Stenmo Not sure if I've got it right or not, but as a result of using OpenWrt cross compilation, I have ended up with two .ipk files associated with luci-lib-json
They are:

I really have no way of testing these myself (primarily because of my unfamiliarity with luci and json). To give them a try:

Copy to some directory on your omega
Within that directory run the command opkg install <ipk-filename>

@Kit-Bishop Thanks! I'll see if I can make it work. I'll let you know, whether they do or not. But it'll probably be tomorrow (It's late and i need to go to bed, haha).

@Kit-Bishop said in Luci-lib-json won't install:

Copy to some directory on your omega

Within that directory run the command opkg install <ipk-filename>

As i remember the /tmp folder is the right place to copy install files in it. If you put a to big file in this folder, you just can restart the omega and it works again because the file will not been stored permanently. I hope I'm right about that ?!

@Kit-Bishop This might be a really stupid question. But how do i copy the files to a directory on my omega?

Kit Bishop

@Visti-Stenmo Simplest way of copying files is to use SCP or FTP or something similar
On Windows I use WinSCP connected using the Omega IP address on port 22
On Linux I set up a Network connection to ftp://root@<ip-address>:21/
