Universal AppImage
Using the AppImage is the recommended way of installing the CERNBox Sync Client on Linux. AppImage is an alternative way to use Linux applications, where the entire application is contained in a single file ending with an .AppImage suffix, including all necessary dependencies and libraries.
Note that you may have to manually install the package libfuse2t64
.
wget https://cernboxdistr.web.cern.ch/Linux/repo/cernbox-5.3.2.15486-x86_64.AppImage
You cannot run the AppImage?
We also provide a number of legacy repositories for common Linux distributions. However, they are not up to date as we do not receive new versions any longer, so they are only usable for relatively old distributions, not for recent ones.
Alma Linux/RHEL 8 or 9
If you are running a CERN OS Image, you can use locmap to configure CERNBox:
dnf install locmap
locmap --enable cernbox
locmap --configure cernbox
Otherwise, just install manually from the repositories
