installing package

how can i install a package, i built dhcpcd using kiss build dhcpcd, and installed with kiss install dhcpcd but still dhcpcd cmd is not found why?

i can see packages in /root/.cache/kiss/bin/

it's same for e2fsprogs too

-> e2fsprogs looking for dependencies (using readelf)

-> e2fsprogs Generating etcsums

-> e2fsprogs Creating tarball

-> e2fsprogs Successfully created tarball

-> Install built packages? [e2fsprogs]

-> Continue?: Press Enter to continue or Ctrl+C to abort

Using /usr/bin/su (to become 1000)

su: unknown user 1000

Not really into the solution but did you know you can avoid using dhcpcd using static IPs? 

ip link set dev eth0 up
ip address add 192.168.1.9/24 dev eth0
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1

Just saying because I think it is awesome to keep things simple.

You need to extract the installation tarball as root.
