Installing the Desktop Synchronization Client
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
You can download the latest version of the Nextcloud Desktop Synchronization
|
|
Client from the `Nextcloud download page`_.
|
|
There are clients for Linux, macOs, and Microsoft Windows.
|
|
|
|
The currently supported server releases are the latest three stable versions
|
|
at time of publication. It means that the |version| release series is supporting
|
|
stable server major versions.
|
|
See https://github.com/nextcloud/server/wiki/Maintenance-and-Release-Schedule for
|
|
supported major versions.
|
|
|
|
Installation on Mac OS X and Windows is the same as for any software
|
|
application: download the program and then double-click it to launch the
|
|
installation, and then follow the installation wizard. After it is installed and
|
|
configured the sync client will automatically keep itself updated; see
|
|
:doc:`autoupdate` for more information.
|
|
|
|
Linux users must follow the instructions on the download page to add the
|
|
appropriate repository for their Linux distribution, install the signing key,
|
|
and then use their package managers to install the desktop sync client. Linux
|
|
users will also update their sync clients via package manager, and the client
|
|
will display a notification when an update is available.
|
|
|
|
Linux users must also have a password manager enabled, such as GNOME Keyring or
|
|
KWallet, so that the sync client can login automatically.
|
|
|
|
You will also find links to source code archives and older versions on the
|
|
download page.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Customizing the Windows Installation
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you just want to install Nextcloud Desktop Synchronization Client on your local
|
|
system, you can simply launch the `.msi` file and configure it in the wizard
|
|
that pops up.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The MSI installer provides several features that can be installed or removed
|
|
individually, which you can also control via command-line, if you are automating
|
|
the installation, then run the following command::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi
|
|
|
|
The command will install the Nextcloud Desktop Synchronization Client into the default location
|
|
with the default features enabled.
|
|
If you want to disable, e.g., desktop shortcut icons you can simply change the above command to the following::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi REMOVE=DesktopShortcut
|
|
|
|
See the following table for a list of available features:
|
|
|
|
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| Feature | Enabled by default | Description |Property to disable |
|
|
+====================+====================+===================================+===========================+
|
|
| Client | Yes, required | The actual client | |
|
|
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| DesktopShortcut | Yes | Adds a shortcut to the desktop |``NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT`` |
|
|
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| StartMenuShortcuts | Yes | Adds a shortcut to the start menu |``NO_START_MENU_SHORTCUTS``|
|
|
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| ShellExtensions | Yes | Adds Explorer integration |``NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS`` |
|
|
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can also choose to only install the client itself by using the following command::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi ADDDEFAULT=Client
|
|
|
|
If you for instance want to install everything but the ``DesktopShortcut`` and the ``ShellExtensions`` feature, you have two possibilities:
|
|
|
|
1. You explicitly name all the features you actually want to install (whitelist) where `Client` is always installed anyway::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi ADDDEFAULT=StartMenuShortcuts
|
|
|
|
2. You pass the `NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT` and `NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS` properties::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT="1" NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS="1"
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
The Nextcloud `.msi` remembers these properties, so you don't need to specify them on upgrades.
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
You cannot use these to change the installed features, if you want to do that, see the next section.
|
|
|
|
Changing Installed Features
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can change the installed features later by using `REMOVE` and `ADDDEFAULT` properties.
|
|
|
|
1. If you want to add the the desktop shortcut later, run the following command::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi ADDDEFAULT="DesktopShortcut"
|
|
|
|
2. If you want to remove it, simply run the following command::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi REMOVE="DesktopShortcut"
|
|
|
|
Windows keeps track of the installed features and using `REMOVE` or `ADDDEFAULT` will only affect the mentioned features.
|
|
|
|
Compare `REMOVE <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371194(v=vs.85).aspx>`_
|
|
and `ADDDEFAULT <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367518(v=vs.85).aspx>`_
|
|
on the Windows Installer Guide.
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
You cannot specify `REMOVE` on initial installation as it will disable all features.
|
|
|
|
Installation Folder
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You can adjust the installation folder by specifying the `INSTALLDIR`
|
|
property like this::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Non Standard Nextcloud Client Folder"
|
|
|
|
Be careful when using PowerShell instead of `cmd.exe`, it can be tricky to get
|
|
the whitespace escaping right there.
|
|
Specifying the `INSTALLDIR` like this only works on first installation, you cannot simply re-invoke the `.msi` with a different path. If you still need to change it, uninstall it first and reinstall it with the new path.
|
|
|
|
Disabling Automatic Updates
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
To disable automatic updates, you can pass the `SKIPAUTOUPDATE` property.::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi SKIPAUTOUPDATE="1"
|
|
|
|
Launch After Installation
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
To launch the client automatically after installation, you can pass the `LAUNCH` property.::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi LAUNCH="1"
|
|
|
|
This option also removes the checkbox to let users decide if they want to launch the client
|
|
for non passive/quiet mode.
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
This option does not have any effect without GUI.
|
|
|
|
No Reboot After Installation
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The Nextcloud Client schedules a reboot after installation to make sure the Explorer extension is correctly (un)loaded.
|
|
If you're taking care of the reboot yourself, you can set the `REBOOT` property::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress
|
|
|
|
This will make `msiexec` exit with error `ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED` (3010).
|
|
If your deployment tooling interprets this as an actual error and you want to avoid that, you may want to set the `DO_NOT_SCHEDULE_REBOOT` instead::
|
|
|
|
msiexec /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi DO_NOT_SCHEDULE_REBOOT="1"
|
|
|
|
Installation Wizard
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The installation wizard takes you step-by-step through configuration options and
|
|
account setup. First, you need to enter the URL of your Nextcloud server.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/wizard_welcome.png
|
|
:alt: form for choosing between login and registering
|
|
|
|
If you already have an account on a Nextcloud instance, you want to
|
|
press the button ``Login to your Nextcloud``. If you don't have a
|
|
Nextcloud instance and an account there, you might want to register an
|
|
account with a provider. Press ``Create account with Provider`` in
|
|
that case. Please keep in mind that the desktop client might have
|
|
built without provider support. In that case, you won't see this
|
|
page. Instead, you will be prompted with the next page.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/wizard_setup.png
|
|
:alt: form for entering Nextcloud server URL
|
|
|
|
Enter the URL for your Nextcloud instance. The URL is the same URL that
|
|
you type into your browser when you try to access your Nextcloud
|
|
instance.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/wizard_flow2.png
|
|
:alt: form waiting for authorization
|
|
|
|
Now your web browser should open and prompt you to login into your
|
|
Nextcloud instance. Enter your username and password in your web
|
|
browser and grant access. After you did that, go back to the
|
|
wizard. Please keep in mind that you might not need to enter your
|
|
username and password if you are already logged in to your browser.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/wizard_advanced.png
|
|
:alt: Select which remote folders to sync, and which local folder to store
|
|
them in.
|
|
|
|
On the local folder options screen, you may sync all of your files on
|
|
the Nextcloud server, or select individual folders. The default local
|
|
sync folder is ``Nextcloud``, in your home directory. You may change
|
|
this as well.
|
|
|
|
When you have completed selecting your sync folders, click the Connect
|
|
button at the bottom right. The client will attempt to connect to your
|
|
Nextcloud server, and when it is successful, the wizard closes
|
|
itself. You can now observe the sync activity if you open the main
|
|
dialogue by clicking on the tray icon.
