Installing the Desktop Synchronization Client
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
You can download the latest version of the ownCloud Desktop Synchronization
|
|
Client from the `ownCloud download page`_.
|
|
There are clients for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.
|
|
|
|
Installation on Mac OS X and Windows is the same as for any software
|
|
application: download the program and then double-click it to launch the
|
|
installation, and then follow the installation wizard. After it is installed and
|
|
configured the sync client will automatically keep itself updated; see
|
|
:doc:`autoupdate` for more information.
|
|
|
|
Linux users must follow the instructions on the download page to add the
|
|
appropriate repository for their Linux distribution, install the signing key,
|
|
and then use their package managers to install the desktop sync client. Linux
|
|
users will also update their sync clients via package manager, and the client
|
|
will display a notification when an update is available.
|
|
|
|
Linux users must also have a password manager enabled, such as GNOME Keyring or
|
|
KWallet, so that the sync client can login automatically.
|
|
|
|
You will also find links to source code archives and older versions on the
|
|
download page.

Installation Wizard
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The installation wizard takes you step-by-step through configuration options and
|
|
account setup. First you need to enter the URL of your ownCloud server.
|

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
On the Local Folder Option screen you may sync
|
|
all of your files on the ownCloud server, or select individual folders. The
|
|
default local sync folder is ``ownCloud``, in your home directory. You may
|
|
change this as well.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/client-3.png
|
|
:alt: Select which remote folders to sync, and which local folder to store
|
|
them in.
|
|
|
|
When you have completed selecting your sync folders, click the Connect button
|
|
at the bottom right. The client will attempt to connect to your ownCloud
|
|
server, and when it is successful you'll see two buttons: one to connect to
|
|
your ownCloud Web GUI, and one to open your local folder. It will also start
|
|
synchronizing your files.
