We\u2019ve received many requests from the Sync community to be able to install Sync on a Linux family OS in the “Linux way” — using packages and a standard tool (yum or apt-get) to get the package downloaded and installed.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re thankful for the packages and installation scripts made by our community members (thanks to @tuxpoldo, @Silvenga, @moe and others) that enabled this sort of installation.<\/p>\n

Now, we are happy to present official Debian-based and RPM-based Linux packages for Sync. Packages are also available on our repositories, where they will be updated once we push a new Sync version to auto-update.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To use our official Linux packages, you need to complete several simple steps:
\n1. Add our repository to your repo list
\n2. Add our PGP public key to the list of trusted keys for your installer
\n3. Install the package<\/p>\n

See below for detailed instructions.  If you have btsync already installed, please see this KB article<\/a> first.<\/p>\n

Installing on Debian-based OS (Debian, Ubuntu, Zorin, Elementary)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Create a file called \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/resilio-sync.list with the following content to register Resilio repository:<\/p>\n

deb http:\/\/linux-packages.resilio.com\/resilio-sync\/deb resilio-sync non-free\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Add a public key with the following command:<\/p>\n
wget -qO - https:\/\/linux-packages.resilio.com\/resilio-sync\/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\n
For arm64 architecture<\/td>\nFor Raspberry Pi 1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf<\/code>
\nsudo apt-get update<\/code><\/p>\n
In \/etc\/apt\/sources.list change the line as follows:<\/p>\n
deb [arch=armhf] http:\/\/linux-packages.resilio.com\/<\/code>resilio-sync\/deb resilio-sync non-free<\/code><\/td>\n
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armel
\nsudo apt-get update
\nsudo apt-get install resilio-sync:armel<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
Install Sync<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get install resilio-sync\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
For RPM-based Linux (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE)<\/h3>\n
Create file \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/resilio-sync.repo<\/strong> with the following content to register Resilio repository:<\/p>\n
[resilio-sync]\nname=Resilio Sync $basearch\nbaseurl=http:\/\/linux-packages.resilio.com\/resilio-sync\/rpm\/$basearch\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Add public key:<\/p>\n
sudo rpm --import https:\/\/linux-packages.resilio.com\/resilio-sync\/key.asc\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Install Sync:<\/p>\n
sudo yum install resilio-sync\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Managing Sync<\/h2>\n
systemd<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
Enable sync service automatic startup as user rslsync<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl enable <\/code>resilio-sync<\/code><\/pre>\n
Enable sync service as current user:<\/p>\n
edit file \/usr\/lib\/systemd\/user\/resilio-sync.service and change “WantedBy=multi-user.target” to “WantedBy=default.target”. Save. Then enable the service:<\/p>\n
systemctl --user enable <\/code>resilio-sync<\/code><\/pre>\n
Systemctl can be also run with the following arguments: start, stop, enable, disable, status<\/code><\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
systemctl --user start <\/code>resilio-sync<\/code><\/pre>\n
sysvinit, upstart<\/span><\/h3>\n
Run as rslsync<\/strong> user:<\/p>\n
sudo service <\/code>resilio-sync <\/code>start <\/code><\/pre>\n
Service can also be run with the following arguments: start, stop, restart<\/code><\/p>\n
Guide on how to use Sync on linux is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
After successful migration and verifying that setup is preserved, you can remove btsync package:<\/p>\n
For Debian-based Linux:<\/h3>\n
sudo apt-get purge btsync<\/code><\/p>\n
For RPM-based Linux<\/h3>\n
sudo yum remove btsync<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
