# Install #
|
|
|
|
Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart ##
|
|
|
|
* [Download](/downloads/) the relevant binary.
|
|
* Extract the `rclone` or `rclone.exe` binary from the archive
|
|
* Run `rclone config` to setup. See [rclone config docs](/docs/) for more details.
|
|
|
|
See below for some expanded Linux / macOS instructions.
|
|
|
|
See the [Usage section](/docs/) of the docs for how to use rclone, or
|
|
run `rclone -h`.
|
|
|
|
## Script installation ##
|
|
|
|
To install rclone on Linux/macOS/BSD systems, run:
|
|
|
|
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
|
|
|
|
For beta installation, run:
|
|
|
|
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash -s beta
|
|
|
|
Note that this script checks the version of rclone installed first and
|
|
won't re-download if not needed.
|
|
|
|
## Linux installation from precompiled binary ##
|
|
|
|
Fetch and unpack
|
|
|
|
curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
|
|
unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
|
|
cd rclone-*-linux-amd64
|
|
|
|
Copy binary file
|
|
|
|
sudo cp rclone /usr/bin/
|
|
sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone
|
|
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone
|
|
|
|
Install manpage
|
|
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
|
|
sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
|
|
sudo mandb
|
|
|
|
Run `rclone config` to setup. See [rclone config docs](/docs/) for more details.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## macOS installation with brew ##
|
|
|
|
brew install rclone
|
|
|
|
## macOS installation from precompiled binary, using curl ##
|
|
|
|
To avoid problems with macOS gatekeeper enforcing the binary to be signed and
|
|
notarized it is enough to download with `curl`.
|
|
|
|
Download the latest version of rclone.
|
|
|
|
cd && curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip
|
|
|
|
Unzip the download and cd to the extracted folder.
|
|
|
|
unzip -a rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip && cd rclone-*-osx-amd64
|
|
|
|
Move rclone to your $PATH. You will be prompted for your password.
|
|
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
|
|
sudo mv rclone /usr/local/bin/
|
|
|
|
(the `mkdir` command is safe to run, even if the directory already exists).
|
|
|
|
Remove the leftover files.
|
|
|
|
cd .. && rm -rf rclone-*-osx-amd64 rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip
|
|
|
|
Run `rclone config` to setup. See [rclone config docs](/docs/) for more details.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## macOS installation from precompiled binary, using a web browser ##
|
|
|
|
When downloading a binary with a web browser, the browser will set the macOS
|
|
gatekeeper quarantine attribute. Starting from Catalina, when attempting to run
|
|
`rclone`, a pop-up will appear saying:
|
|
|
|
“rclone” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
|
|
macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.
|
|
|
|
The simplest fix is to run
|
|
|
|
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine rclone
|
|
|
|
## Install with docker ##
|
|
|
|
The rclone maintains a [docker image for rclone](https://hub.docker.com/r/rclone/rclone).
|
|
These images are autobuilt by docker hub from the rclone source based
|
|
on a minimal Alpine linux image.
|
|
|
|
The `:latest` tag will always point to the latest stable release. You
|
|
can use the `:beta` tag to get the latest build from master. You can
|
|
also use version tags, eg `:1.49.1`, `:1.49` or `:1`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker pull rclone/rclone:latest
|
|
latest: Pulling from rclone/rclone
|
|
Digest: sha256:0e0ced72671989bb837fea8e88578b3fc48371aa45d209663683e24cfdaa0e11
|
|
...
|
|
$ docker run --rm rclone/rclone:latest version
|
|
rclone v1.49.1
|
|
- os/arch: linux/amd64
|
|
- go version: go1.12.9
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are a few command line options to consider when starting an rclone Docker container
|
|
from the rclone image.
|
|
|
|
- You need to mount the host rclone config dir at `/config/rclone` into the Docker
|
|
container. Due to the fact that rclone updates tokens inside its config file, and that
|
|
the update process involves a file rename, you need to mount the whole host rclone
|
|
config dir, not just the single host rclone config file.
|
|
|
|
- You need to mount a host data dir at `/data` into the Docker container.
|
|
|
|
- By default, the rclone binary inside a Docker container runs with UID=0 (root).
|
|
As a result, all files created in a run will have UID=0. If your config and data files
|
|
reside on the host with a non-root UID:GID, you need to pass these on the container
|
|
start command line.
|
|
|
|
- It is possible to use `rclone mount` inside a userspace Docker container, and expose
|
|
the resulting fuse mount to the host. The exact `docker run` options to do that might
|
|
vary slightly between hosts. See, e.g. the discussion in this
|
|
[thread](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/9448).
|
|
|
|
You also need to mount the host `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` for fuse to work inside
|
|
the container.
|
|
|
|
Here are some commands tested on an Ubuntu 18.04.3 host:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# config on host at ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
|
|
# data on host at ~/data
|
|
|
|
# make sure the config is ok by listing the remotes
|
|
docker run --rm \
|
|
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
|
|
--volume ~/data:/data:shared \
|
|
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
|
|
rclone/rclone \
|
|
listremotes
|
|
|
|
# perform mount inside Docker container, expose result to host
|
|
mkdir -p ~/data/mount
|
|
docker run --rm \
|
|
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
|
|
--volume ~/data:/data:shared \
|
|
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
|
|
--volume /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro --volume /etc/group:/etc/group:ro \
|
|
--device /dev/fuse --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --security-opt apparmor:unconfined \
|
|
rclone/rclone \
|
|
mount dropbox:Photos /data/mount &
|
|
ls ~/data/mount
|
|
kill %1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install from source ##
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have at least [Go](https://golang.org/) 1.7
|
|
installed. [Download go](https://golang.org/dl/) if necessary. The
|
|
latest release is recommended. Then
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/rclone/rclone.git
|
|
cd rclone
|
|
go build
|
|
./rclone version
|
|
|
|
You can also build and install rclone in the
|
|
[GOPATH](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GOPATH) (which defaults to
|
|
`~/go`) with:
|
|
|
|
go get -u -v github.com/rclone/rclone
|
|
|
|
and this will build the binary in `$GOPATH/bin` (`~/go/bin/rclone` by
|
|
default) after downloading the source to
|
|
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/rclone/rclone` (`~/go/src/github.com/rclone/rclone`
|
|
by default).
|
|
|
|
## Installation with Ansible ##
|
|
|
|
This can be done with [Stefan Weichinger's ansible
|
|
role](https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone).
|
|
|
|
Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. `git clone https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone.git` into your local roles-directory
|
|
2. add the role to the hosts you want rclone installed to:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- hosts: rclone-hosts
|
|
roles:
|
|
- rclone
|
|
```
