There are two ways to do this. You can use libertine to manage a chroot
where you install all these tools, as already mentioned, which is
generally the better option.

Another way is to just manage a chroot manually yourself, roughly per
the instructions in my answer at http://askubuntu.com/a/623311/50737

Doing things to the root partition such as remounting read/write and
using apt to install things there is very ill-advised. The root
partition is small and read-only for a reason. Installing needed tools
in a chroot on the home partition (or an external SD card) will give
you a lot more space to work with, and you won't end up making your
device unbootable by filling up the root partition.
