"Can't lock pid file. It seems BitTorrent Sync is already running with pid 8466"

Now what? What am Isupposed to do? Thanks

there's nothing to "install" with BTsync. doing ./btsync starts the daemon and that's it. (that's why you got the "Can't lock pid file..." massage when you did ./btsync again - it was already running).

you can control BTsync on linux through your web browser. so, open your browser and go to: http://localhost:8888/gui/

also, you must add BTsync to the list of startup apps if you want it to start automatically when you reboot your computer. in ubuntu there's an app called "startup applications" to do this.

for more information read the BTsync manual carefully.
