bash scritps in Asuswrt-Merlin firms

[Shark6969]

Hi:
Thanks in advance for this great work!
Now, I make my question that I haven't found throught the forum.
Is there any way to use bash scripts in Asuswrt-Merlin firms?
I know you can use sh scripts but I have some very complex bash scritps I'd like yo use in the router and I'd prefer not to adapt them.

Thanks

You can install bash shell. (Router uses ash shell by default).

This was the first result from google.

Thanks. I'd seen this post, but Entware is necessary to install bash and I don't know if to install it is compatible with Merlin firms...

I think it is. I’ve seen an entware guide floating around in this sub forum.


I don’t use it so can’t confirm.

If you want an easy install use amtm from @thelonelycoder to install entware. With additional support for other scripts (see link).
