  4. In this screencast I cover how to set up OwnCloud on a Mac Mini running OS X Server in a hosted environment. I walk through the installation process includin.

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.

Luckily, the ownCloud developers were kind enough to create a command line tool called occ that can manually add missing files and folders to the ownCloud database. You can run the following snippet on your server to check where this utility is located on the local file system.

Customizing the Windows installation¶

If you just want to install ownCloud 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:

The command will install the ownCloud 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:

See the following table for a list of available features:

Installation¶

You can also choose to only install the client itself by using the following command:

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 ownCloud-x.y.z.msi ADDDEFAULT=StartMenuShortcuts
For
  1. You pass the NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT and NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS properties:
msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=”1” NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS=”1”

Note

The ownCloud .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 desktop shortcut later, run the following command:
msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi ADDDEFAULT=”DesktopShortcut”
  1. If you want to remove it, simply run the following command:
msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi REMOVE=”DesktopShortcut”

Windows keeps track of the installed features and using REMOVE or ADDDEFAULT will only affect the mentioned features.

Compare REMOVE and ADDDEFAULT 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

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¶

Paragon for mac os x sierra. To disable automatic updates, you can pass the SKIPAUTOUPDATE property.

Serif webplus for mac download. Serif WebPlus is not available for Mac but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on macOS with similar functionality. The most popular Mac alternative is WordPress, which is both free and Open Source.If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 100 alternatives to Serif WebPlus and many of them are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Serif WebPlus by Serif, Inc. Is a freemium piece of software that can help you easily build and publish websites, without having to learn HTML or other web programming language. Sadly, there is no version of Serif WebPlus for Mac available on the developer's website.

Launch After Installation¶

To launch the client automatically after installation, you can pass the LAUNCH property.

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¶

Owncloud Desktop

The ownCloud 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

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

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 ownCloud server.

Enter your ownCloud login on the next screen.

On the “Local Folder Option” screen you may sync all of your files on the ownCloud server, or select individual folders.The default local sync folder is ownCloud, 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 ownCloud server, and when it is successful you’ll see two buttons:

  • one to connect to your ownCloud Web GUI
  • one to open your local folder

It will also start synchronizing your files.
