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 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Suggested packages: make-doc The following NEW packages will be installed: make 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 41 not upgraded. Need to get 335 kB of archives.

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.
Note 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).
@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.
