Install	Rclone Installation	2018-08-28

Install

Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.

Quickstart

Download the relevant binary.
Extract the rclone or rclone.exe binary from the archive
Run rclone config to setup. See rclone config docs for more details.

See below for some expanded Linux / macOS instructions.

See the Usage section 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 for more details.

rclone config

macOS installation from precompiled binary

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 for more details.

Install from source

Make sure you have at least Go 1.7
installed. Download go 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 (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.

Instructions

git clone https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone.git into your local roles-directory
add the role to the hosts you want rclone installed to:

    - hosts: rclone-hosts
      roles:
          - rclone
