Seafile is a cloud storage solution that provides secure file syncing and sharing. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Seafile on EndeavourOS latest.
Before installing any new software, it is always recommended to update the system to avoid any conflicts or errors during the installation process.
To update the system, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system to the latest version.
Before installing Seafile, we need to install some dependencies that are required to run Seafile.
To install the dependencies, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S python python-setuptools python-virtualenv python-wheel python-mysqldb sqlite
This command will install all the required dependencies on the system.
To download Seafile, visit the official Seafile website at https://www.seafile.com/en/home/ and download the latest version of Seafile for Linux.
Once the download is complete, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where Seafile was downloaded. Then, extract the downloaded file using the following command:
tar -zxvf seafile-server-*.tar.gz
This command will extract the Seafile archive in the current directory.
Next, navigate to the Seafile directory using the following command:
cd seafile-server*
Once you are in the Seafile directory, run the installation script using the following command:
sudo ./setup-seafile.sh
This command will start the installation process of Seafile. You will be prompted with a series of questions. Answer the questions according to your preferences.
After the installation is complete, start the Seafile server using the following command:
sudo ./seafile.sh start
sudo ./seahub.sh start
This command will start the Seafile server and the Seahub web interface.
