How do I add binaries via KoboRoot.tgz?

I'm a noob, but I want to add the following tools to kobo, openssh, aria2, and... Nano. I know it's possible because I've read other threads doing so, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to go about doing this. I need to create a patch is that right. I'd like some guideline to explain what I must learn go do

I guess what I'm looking for is a package manager...

Could kobo systems in theory download torrent links via aria2?

The nano and ssh were compiled by NiLuJe , but you may be on your own for the aria2.


If you want to get your hands dirty with either crosscompiling, creating an alpine linux chroot and using their package manager within the chroot, or just copying the binary and ALLLLLL its dependencies and subdependencies, you can see some examples here:

Honestly, your fastest path is probably installing a small alpine chroot without the added X for an easier first step.. If you go with the chroot, you may find a script like the one in section 6 of this comment helpful.
