Set BTsync in 14.04 LTS Ubuntu Server?

Question

I do the following where I found the link source from here:

1. wget -O - "https://download-cdn.getsync.com/stable/linux-x64/BitTorrent-Sync_x64.tar.gz" | tar xzf - in the server home
2. cd .btsync
3. chmod +x btsync
4. . btsync but get -bash: .: btsync: cannot execute binary file
5. btsync but get -bash: btsync: command not found

Positive experiences about similar approach here.

How can you setup BTsync in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server?

Answer 1

Move the files of the tarball and correct permissions/owners

• move extracted directory of tarball to /usr/local/
• make symbolic link from btsync application from /usr/local/bsync/... to /usr/local/bin/ etc ln -s ...
