## Prerequisites
This instructions explain how to build an OpenWRT .ipk package for n2n.
Before going on, it is required to have a working cross-compiling build
environment for the OpenWRT version installed into your device. This usually
comes down to the following steps:
1. Download and extract the SDK toolchain for your device. The toolchain
must match the *exact* OpenWRT version installed in your device. Toolchain
for official OpenWRT images can be downloaded from https://downloads.openwrt.org
2. Build the toolchain: run `make menuconfig`, save the configuration, then
run `make` to build the cross compiling tools
3. Download the feeds with `./scripts/feeds update -a`
## Compilation
From the OpenWRT build directory:

make package/n2n/compile V=s
```
If everything went fine, two ipk will be generated, one for the n2n-edge
and the other for n2n-supernode. They can be found with `find . -name "n2n*.ipk"`,
copied to the target device, and installed with `opkg install`.
## Configuration
The edge node can be started with `/etc/init.d/edge start`.
