## Clean up old repositories

If you used our v2Ray instructions previously, you will have to clean up the repository we added at that time:

```
rm /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf
opkg update
opkg remove v2ray-core
```

## Update repositories

Update the OpenWRT repositories using the ```opkg update``` command.

You'll see something like this:

```
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update

## Upgrade dnsmasq

Before installing Xray we need to replace **dnsmasq** with **dnsmasq-full**:

```
opkg remove dnsmasq
opkg install dnsmasq-full
```

(If you've followed our instructions before, you may have already done this.)

## Install XRay core packages

Install the xray-core packages using the ```opkg install xray-core xray-geodata``` commmand.

```
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install xray-core xray-geodata
