Problems downloading make to ReadyNAS RN 212
Any help welcome here!
I'm trying to update the SSL socket on my RN212. I'm following Jophus instructions (many thanks for these, BTW) https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Readynas-6-10-9-How-to-manually-update-IO-Socket-SSL-for/m-p/2362035
I'm updating the SSL for the same reasons as Jophus - having problems accessing some music streaming apps (e.g. BBC) via LMS.
I'm using Putty and logged in successfully as the root user. I'll add now I've got zero experience with Linux, I'm just a dummy following instructions that others in the community and Netgear have helpfully posted to get me this far.
When I enter the command line to install make
apt-get install make
I get the following message back from the console

It looks like the command is trying to find a file that's no longer there, or the page is just down. Any help welcome.

I used the admin page for the ReadyNas to upload the two files (apt.conf and sources.list) into the Documents share on the NAS
\nas-1F-BC-B6 \ data\documents
Then the two commands would be
cp /data/Documents/sources.list /etc/apt cp /data/Documents/apt.conf /etc/aptNote that file names (and paths) are case-sensitive in linux. So if your share is "documents", you'll need to use that in the above commands instead of "Documents".
(Documents is a default share, so I am guessing that is what you have).

Did you ever update the apt configuration? If not, see post 37 here:
StephenB Many thanks for the link. I've downloaded the files but am struggling to make sense of what seems to be really straightforward instructions from the OP:
Put these somewhere on your NAS using SMB, the GUI, or whatever. Then, from SSH, you simply need to copy them from where you put them to their proper place.Literally, I've no idea who to execute these instructions. Again, any help welcome.

You do need to be careful when running ssh, as if you make a mistake you can do damage that requires a factory reset to fix. So you should make sure you have a backup of the files, since you literally don't know what you are doing.
You need to copy the two files into the /etc/apt folder. You use the linux "cp" command to do that. The specific syntax depends on where you put the files on the NAS. If you let me know where you put them, I can give you the full commands.
