I am trying to install it on my Asus RT-AX86U Pro with Merlin 3004.388.8_2. JFFS custom scripts and configs enabled.
Getting the error: "can't create directory '/opt/': No such file or directory"

Asuswrt-Merlin version: 388.8
JFFS partition: enabled

Edit: this doesn't work, see the next response.

Try to create the directory: mkdir -p /opt/usr/bin.

The script probably doesn't consider a situation when /opt doesn't exist. I'll fix it at some point, but meanwhile please try the solution and let me know if it worked :).

Ok I checked it, you cannot create directories on the root file system. Your screenshot indicates that there is a symbolic link opt -> tmp/opt but for some reason the tmp/opt directory doesn't exist. So try to run

mkdir -p -m 755 /tmp/opt/usr/bin

and retry the installation. HTH.

mkdir -p -m 755 /tmp/opt/usr/bin

This worked to allow the installation to complete.

Thank you. Manually creating the required folders fixed the issues and the installation completed successfully. 👍
