how can i install entware(with opkg package manager) from optware(ipkg package manager)?

You can't (if I understand your question correctly). Entware and Optware are two different (mutually exclusive) package managers that use different repositories. Entware is not a package within Optware. If you have a /opt/bin/opkg file on your system then I'd guess that you previously had Entware installed (e.g. via Merlin's firmware) and overwrote it with Optware (e.g. via stock firmware/Download Manager).

false, previous i had installed entware it has fully worked, then i have problems with entware and i reinstalled the fw new. now i cant install entware new. entware_install.sh works not.

but ipkg works now full(without problems)

If you've factory reset the router after flashing the firmware then everything starts again at zero. If you haven't then the entware install directory would remain, including the damaged/overwritten files.

Those instructions are a hack for installing Entware on stock firmware. You don't need to do that with Merlin's firmware. All you need to do is run amtm and choose the option to install or repair Entware.

Maybe you need to update amtm to the latest version?
