Manual plugin installation

I'm configuring a new router that is not connected to internet yet. The reason is to configure it first and then put it instead of the one that is used now.

How can I install plugin that I downloaded manually (.ipk)?
Thanks.

Will it work if I put downloaded plugins (with file Packages) into /www/plugins/* on that device and set up plugin URL as http://localhost/plugins/default ?

P.S. I checked that wget on the device can get such files.

Copy the files to /tmp
gpkg install /tmp/filename.ipk

You won’t be able to handle dependency properly so you’ll need to install everything in order yourself.

Well, actually I wanted to avoid messing with dependencies as for some plugins there are quite a few of them required.

I tried the 'localhost' method I mentioned earlier and it works. Just installed a few plugins using Web UI.
