Installation Tutorial

1. Environment Preparation and Dependencies

Connect to the router terminal via SSH and execute the following commands to update the software source and install necessary dependencies (ensure the router is connected to the internet):

opkg update
opkg install coreutils-nohup bash dnsmasq-full curl ca-certificates ipset ip-full libOpkg-full libcap libcap-bin ruby ruby-yaml kmod-tun

If dnsmasq prompts a conflict, you may need to uninstall dnsmasq first and then install dnsmasq-full. This operation has the risk of disconnection, please proceed with caution.

2. Upload and Install Plugin

Upload the downloaded luci-app-openclash...ipk file to the /tmp directory of the router (using WinSCP or SCP command). Then execute the installation:

cd /tmp
opkg install luci-app-openclash_*.ipk

After installation, log in to the OpenWrt background refresh page, and you should see "Services" -> "OpenClash".
