### How To Install FreeFileSync in Ubuntu Linux
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We will add official FreeFileSync PPA, which is available for Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 15.10 only, then update the system repository list and install it like so:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
-------------- On Ubuntu 14.04 and 15.10 --------------
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:freefilesync/ffs
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install freefilesync
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On Ubuntu 16.04 and newer version, go to the [FreeFileSync download page][3] and get the appropriate package file for Ubuntu and Debian Linux.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Next, move into the Download folder, extract the FreeFileSync_*.tar.gz into the /opt directory as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ cd Downloads/
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo tar xvf FreeFileSync_*.tar.gz -C /opt/
|
|||
|
|
$ cd /opt/
|
|||
|
|
$ ls
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo unzip FreeFileSync/Resources.zip -d /opt/FreeFileSync/Resources/
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now we will create an application launcher (.desktop file) using Gnome Panel. To view examples of `.desktop`files on your system, list the contents of the directory /usr/share/applications:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ ls /usr/share/applications
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In case you do not have Gnome Panel installed, type the command below to install it:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Next, run the command below to create the application launcher:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/ --create-new
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And define the values below:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
Type: Application
|
|||
|
|
Name: FreeFileSync
|
|||
|
|
Command: /opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync
|
|||
|
|
Comment: Folder Comparison and Synchronization
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To add an icon for the launcher, simply clicking on the spring icon to select it: /opt/FreeFileSync/Resources/FreeFileSync.png.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you have set all the above, click OK create it.

Create Desktop Launcher
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you don’t want to create desktop launcher, you can start FreeFileSync from the directory itself.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ ./FreeFileSync
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
