Read the  disclaimer Now that you've compiled a package, you can test it on a device. See :  https://dayandnightcoding.blogspot.com/2020/04/compiling-cpulimit-with-spksrc-for.html Ways to test:  Online demo @ synology.com Using a blank device Online demo Synology provides online demo at  https://demo.synology.com/ There's no terminal window there to my knowledge, but you can use the scheduler as a workaround. Go to the "package center" clic "settings" and select "any publisher" Select "manual install" Reminder : the demo platform is x64 while writing this article. Select your x64 compiled package. In this example : "cpulimit_x64-6.1_0.2-0.spk"   Now you can see your package in the "package center" In order to test it, you can go to "control panel"  "task scheduler" Create>scheduled task>user-defined script Select "admin" Thi...

In order to compile the software there are two possibilities. a virtual machine a docker container In this example I'll rely on a virtual machine running Ubuntu . There are many steps involved in getting a virtual machine ready that are beyond this article scope, here are some basic steps: chose an hypervisor  install Ubuntu install th...
