Issues installing CrowdSec on OpenWRT routers that use BusyBox. #872

When installing CrowdSec on a Flint 2 - GT6000 router running OpenWRT, the install script failed with an error that apparently involves the "tr" command in Linux. It's incorrectly changing OpenWRT to owenwrt, and so it fails the OS detection script. Here is the output and some information about the hardware/software. I ended up using the "opkg install crowdsec" route instead.

root@router:/# root@router:/# curl -s https://install.crowdsec.net | sh

Detected operating system as owenwrt/24.
Error This system is not supported (yet) by this script.
Please have a look at documentation https://docs.crowdsec.net/ or
file an issue at https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec if you think
the behavior is not intended

root@router:/# uname -a
