Lobo204 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've been using synocommunity to install and update my btsync on my Synology DS1813+, but now it seems synocommunity has become a bit unreliable. How can I update this manually? Do I need to take remove it first from the packages and then re-install it manually?

Harold Feit Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 You should be able to just replace the binary the package installed with the correct one for the architecture of your synology. uname -a from a command shell will help you get the information about what platform to go for.

Lobo204 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_cedarview_1813+ Is what I get.But my knowledge of getting around via SSH is limited, I don't know hot to get to the bin folder to replace the appropriate files. This is the kind of thing I need to know how to do once and then I'll be able to do it for as long as I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 @Lobo204, The steps are pretty much common with all Linux environments. The command output shows you need to use x64 binary (however, x86 should also work). 1. Connect to your NAS via SSH.2. Stop btsync (kill <btsync_process_id> would do the job)3. download BTSync binary ("wget http://download-lb.utorrent.com/endpoint/btsync/os/linux-x64/track/stable")4. unpack binary (tar -zxf <archive_name>)5. use "find / -name btsync" command to locate btsync binary6. replace if with freshly downloaded.7. start BTSync.
