opkg: Install a package.
$ opkg install ${package}
try on your machine

This command is used to install a package using the Open Package Management Tool (opkg) in a Linux system. The "${package}" is a placeholder for the specific name of the package that you want to install.

To use this command, you need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to install. For example, if you want to install a package named "example-package", the command would be:

opkg install example-package

When you execute this command, opkg will download and install the specified package from a repository. The package will be installed along with any dependencies it requires. Opkg is commonly used in embedded Linux systems and distributions such as OpenWrt.
