At the bottom of the article it states that this package was never sent to the recent Openwrt package repository, and that a manual compile and install is required.
So you can try that, or you can try fwknop, which advertises itself as "next generation port knocking", and is available.

Thanks for info - I have missed this information at the bottom.
I see that on OpenWrt there is luci-app-fwknopd with some GUI. Is there any GUI option for Gargoyle?

No.
I had never even heard of the concept of port knocking until this thread.
What may be useful is installing Openwrt and using LUCI to setup fwknop, then you can save the config and reuse it manually with Gargoyle

I was thinking about installing OpenWRT - question is when updating from Gargoyle what steps should I take?
1. Factory
2. Sysupgrade
3. Back to stock image and than factory
Thanks for support.

Just a sysupgrade will be fine. Make sure you dont preserve your settings.
Sometimes when moving between versions you need to use the command line to force the image, but thats uncommon
