Mikrotik is a popular brand among many router brands for traffic routing. Usually when we install mikrotik all the necessary packages are installed. So we don't have to install a package separately. But when mikrotik gives new package updates differently, they have to be manually installed. And these packages are provided by mikrotik on their own website, from which to download.
Today we will see in this article how to install a package in mikrotik separately.
After downloading the first package, we will upload it to the Mikrotik router. Clicking on the file button within the router opens the file menu. Then place the package file by drag & drop it in the menu and it will be uploaded.
After the upload is complete, just restart your router and it will automatically install the package. And it will show in the router's package list.
We will now look at the whole process graphically.
We used winbox here to gain access to the router. After accessing via winbox, we will open the file menu by clicking on the file button.
After opening, just drag you file into the file menu. The upload process should be started.
After complete the process just restart your router. During the router startup, package will be installed. We can see this package in the Mikrotik Package list. If it is not available then open the "Log" and find the issue.
To go to the package list click on the "System" and then click "Package".
You can also upgrade, downgrade or uninstall any package from this list. Hopefully you can now successfully install your package.
Thanks.
