Install IPKG on a Synology DS415play

I search for a easy guid to install ipkg on my Synology DS415play with Intel Atom CPU. I found a guid by Edward P:

Connect to your NAS as root through SSH
Go to a temporary folder, for example:

cd /volume1/@tmp

Download the bootstrap script:

wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-i686/cross/unstable/syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh

Make the downloaded script file executable:

chmod +x syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2–7_i686.xsh

Execute the bootstrap script:

sh syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2–7_i686.xsh

Installation should now be completed. To test it, run:

ipkg update

Enjoy.
