antimojv Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Best way seems to donwload the tar.gz file and use the executable in this file , it work fine https://www.getsync.com/intl/it/platforms/desktop Linux arm version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintwurm Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes, that's what I did, too.Just use the download and unzip it to get the executable.If you want to execute sync at startup, you could create a cronjob. Tip: There is a nice tool for scheduling tasks and cronjobs. It's called gnome-schedule.You can get it from the standard sources, just use apt-get install and it runs fine on the pi.Extract the download to /home/pi/programs/sync/And add a job with the command: ./programs/sync/btsyncwhich is run at reboot.

Moe Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Guys let's not forget that there is a .deb package for the pi http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/41316-latest-desktop-build-223/There is also a blog post on it http://blog.bittorrent.com/2015/09/04/sync-wd-raspberry-pi-2/ If you want the latest binary: Do what mintwurm said. Install the .deb package and then download the ARM binary and replace the btsync binary in your installation folder with the new one. http://help.getsync.com/customer/portal/articles/2137820 It's also always good to take a look at help.getsync.com to see how to setup the configuration file of BitTorrent Sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintwurm Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 @Moe, interesting. I didn't know that there was a special build for the pi. What is the difference between the "normal" sync build for ARM and this build for the pi ?If you install the ARM version on a pi, are you going to run into trouble at some point ?

Moe Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Nothing special. It is the way it's packaged.The .deb file has also the /etc/init.d/btsync script in it etc - You can take a look yourself if you want to.It is the ARM binary packaged so it's "easier" for users to install. I myself just took out the init script and have my own install/update/backup script on my Pi But the .deb has the ARM package inside of it.

marklochrie Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Has anyone got anywhere with this yet? I downloaded the deb and then tried to overwrite the executable but not luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 @antimojv, @marklochrieYou used packages from here: http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/18974-debian-and-ubuntu-server-unofficial-packages-for-bittorrent-sync/page-39?hl=linuxThis is unofficial package. And it is highly not recommended to mix 2 different of packages. I would advise to remove both now and install whichever you would like to follow.

haitzo Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hello all, I am also trying to update btsync. First of all I stopped the service through "sudo service btsync stop". I downloaded the newest version and tried to change the name of the older file to replace it with the newer one, but I can't change the name of the older file, I get a permission error. The permission should be 755.Any Idea what can I try? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 @haitzoWho is the file owner? Try doing it from root name. Also note, that "btsync" package is unofficial one and simple binary replacement won't fully work here. I advise to read this post for more details. In general the topic where it stays is dedicated to the package you used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
