How to install a Linux application in my QNAP NAS that is not available in App Center?

Last modified date: 2019-02-26

There are three ways you may install a Linux application on your NAS.

1. Using Container Station

You can quickly and easily create a Container within Container Station using your favorite Linux distribution such as Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu.

To learn more about the process, please refer to the full guide of Container Station.

2. Using Virtualization Station

The Virtualization Station allows you to install other operating systems and run them right inside the QTS interface including Linux. Please read the instructions for Virtualization Station here.

3. Install application by Entware

You can install a package manager called Entware on your NAS to install extra tools and packages for Linux. Please note that this is a free application developed by a third-party and as such is not officially supported by QNAP.

To learn how to install this app manually, you may refer to this guide.
