BEAGL-BONE-BLACK: OPKG package manager installation

Part Number: BEAGL-BONE-BLACK

Hi Team, 

Good day! I am posting this in behalf of the customer. 

Here is the full details of the customer's inquiry below:
I am currently using the Beaglebone black am335x board with the arago distribution. I would like to be able to use the opkg package manger to install packages onto the board but I am having a bit of trouble doing this. Before you refer me to other posts on this forum about this issue, I just want to let you know that I have read a lot of them as reference, but I am still having trouble with bitbake. In particular, I have followed the post below where they installed ffmpeg package:
e2e.ti.com/.../2374626
I was able to follow this instruction set while incorporating my own compiler settings, etc. However, when I got to the point where I had to do:
MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake
I understood that I had to enter in the package that I installed on my Debian machine, the package are a bunch of files that I cloned from a git repository called “customizations”. So I thought the correct thing to do was to enter in:
MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake customizations
However, this did not work because my Debian machine does not have bitbake, so I was hoping if someone can help me install this on my Debian machine? Also once its installed I was wondering how bitbake knows where the package files are located just my entering that MACHINE assignment above.

Thank you in advance for the support.

Best regards,

Jonathan
