Usage of packages

Download the packages and place them in the extra folder on the flash drive. If you are doing this from a system currently running this is at /boot/extra.

Package install: installpkg package_file (Example: installpkg rclone.tgz)
Package upgrade: upgradepkg package_file (Example: upgradepkg rclone.tgz)
Package removal: removepkg package_name (Example: removepkg rclone)

Note: You can use upgradepkg to also install a new package by adding the option --install-new like this upgradepkg --install-new rclone.tgz

WARNING: Do NOT remove packages you did not install yourself! Unraid uses this same system for its own package and it may break your installation or cause unexpected issues.

WARNING: Do NOT upgrade packages that are part of the normal unraid system as that may break your installation or cause unexpected issues.
