To install a package, login as admin in the disk station manager and go to "package management". In the right window, you will get a list of installed packages and their status. Click on 'install' to start the install wizard. Upload the ".spk" file and if the file is in the right format, it will show the name of the package, version, Maintainer and a short description of what it is supposed to do. After clicking "next", it will ask on which volume it has to install. Make sure you have enough space left on that volume and after clicking next twice, the package will be installed. | To install a package, login as admin in the disk station manager and go to "package management".
