Unison is a powerful file synchronization tool that allows you to keep your files and folders updated between different systems. In this guide, we will show you how to install Unison on Arch Linux.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
First, ensure that your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Next, install Unison by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S unison
After installing Unison, you need to configure it to synchronize your files and folders. Here's how to do it:
Open your preferred text editor and create a new file named .unison_profile.
nano ~/.unison_profile
Add the following lines to the file:
root = /path/to/your/folder
root = ssh://user@your.server.com//path/to/your/folder
Replace /path/to/your/folder with the path to the folder on your local machine that you want to synchronize, and user and your.server.com with your username and server address.
Save and exit the file.
To run Unison, enter the following command in your terminal:
unison
This will start the synchronization process.
