Rclone is a free and open-source cloud storage synchronization program that lets you manage your files in the cloud. It supports various cloud storage platforms like Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, and more. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Rclone on Debian Latest.
Before installing any package, it's good to update the system packages to their latest versions. Run the below command in your terminal to update the Debian system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
You can download the latest Rclone release using the curl tool. To download the latest Rclone version, visit the Rclone rclone.org/downloads/">official website and copy the URL based on your system architecture. In this tutorial, we are going to install Rclone on a Linux system, so we will copy the Linux release URL.
curl https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.55.1/rclone-v1.55.1-linux-amd64.deb -O
The above command will download the Rclone package in the current directory.
Now that we have the Rclone package on our system, let's install it using the dpkg command.
sudo dpkg -i rclone-v1.55.1-linux-amd64.deb
The above command will automatically install Rclone and its dependencies on your system.
After installation, you can verify if Rclone is installed on your system by running the following command:
rclone version
The above command will return the Rclone version currently installed on your system.
Now that Rclone is installed, it's time to configure it with your cloud storage accounts. You can follow our guide on how to configure Rclone to get started with creating a remote.
