synopkg: Install a package from a synopkg file.
$ sudo synopkg install ${path-to-package-spk}
try on your machine

The command "sudo synopkg install ${path-to-package-spk}" is used to install a Synology Package (SPK) file.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "sudo" stands for "superuser do" and it is used to run the following command with administrative rights. It allows the command to execute with elevated privileges.
  • "synopkg" is the Synology Package Manager command-line tool. It is used to manage packages on a Synology DiskStation or RackStation.
  • "install" is the specific action or operation you want to perform using synopkg, in this case, installing a package.
  • "${path-to-package-spk}" is a placeholder for the actual file path to the SPK package you want to install. You need to replace it with the actual path to the SPK file on your system.

By executing this command with the appropriate path to the SPK file, you will initiate the installation process of the package. The package will be installed on your Synology DiskStation or RackStation, adding the functionality or software contained within the SPK file to your system.
