2.1.4. Synology NAS
DSM 6.1 and 6.2
1. Open the Package Center from the Synology DSM interface.
2. Click "Manual Install" in the upper right-hand corner.
3. Select the .spk file corresponding to the Synology architecture from the ProfiShark USB key.

DSM 7.0 and later
DSM 7.0+ comes with a number of restrictions. From this version and later, third-party plugins are not
allowed to have root access, which is needed to install the ProfiShark driver.
The current way to proceed is to split the installation in two steps: first the module installation, performed
from the DSM GUI, then the driver installation, performed via SSH with admin access.
Uninstall the previous ProfiShark package from the NAS if it is present. Otherwise, the new package will not
be accepted.
Install the new package (latest version, available in the ProfiShark USB key), but do NOT start it after
installation (untick the checkbox as shown below).
Log into the NAS via SSH with admin credentials, using your SSH client of choice (e.g. PuTTY).
Run the following command:
sudo /var/packages/Profishark/target/usr/bin/profishark/profishark-install
