Installing or Upgrading using Distribution Packages or Building the OneDrive Client for Linux from source

Installing or Upgrading using Distribution Packages

This project has been packaged for the following Linux distributions as per below. The current client release is:

Only the current release version or greater is supported. Earlier versions are not supported and should not be installed or used.

Important Note:

Distribution packages may be of an older release when compared to the latest release that is available. If any package version indicator below is 'red' for your distribution, it is recommended that you build from source. Do not install the software from the available distribution package. If a package is out of date, please contact the package maintainer for resolution.

Distribution	Package Name & Package Link	PKG_Version	i686	x86_64	ARMHF	AARCH64	Extra Details
Alpine Linux	onedrive		❌	✔	❌	✔
Arch Linux Manjaro Linux	onedrive-abraunegg		✔	✔	✔	✔	Install via: `pamac build onedrive-abraunegg` from the Arch Linux User Repository (AUR) Note: If asked regarding a provider for 'd-runtime' and 'd-compiler', select 'liblphobos' and 'ldc' Note: System must have at least 1GB of memory & 1GB swap space
Debian	onedrive		✔	✔	✔	✔	Note: Do not install from Debian Package Repositories It is recommended that for Debian that you install from OpenSuSE Build Service using the Debian Package Install Instructions

Gentoo	onedrive	No API Available	✔	✔	❌	❌
Homebrew	onedrive		❌	✔	❌	❌
NixOS	onedrive		❌	✔	❌	❌	Use package `onedrive` either by adding it to `configuration.nix` or by using the command `nix-env -iA <channel name>.onedrive`. This does not install a service. To install a service, use unstable channel (will stabilize in 20.09) and add `services.onedrive.enable=true` in `configuration.nix`. You can also add a custom package using the `services.onedrive.package` option (recommended since package lags upstream). Enabling the service installs a default package too (based on the channel). You can also add multiple onedrive accounts trivially, see documentation.

Important information for all Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distribution users:

This information is specifically for the following platforms and distributions:

Ubuntu
Lubuntu
Linux Mint
POP OS
Peppermint OS

Whilst there are onedrive Universe packages available for Ubuntu, do not install 'onedrive' from these Universe packages. The default Universe packages are out-of-date and are not supported and should not be used. If you wish to use a package, it is highly recommended that you utilise the OpenSuSE Build Service to install packages for these platforms. If the OpenSuSE Build Service does not cater for your version, your only option is to build from source.

If you wish to change this situation so that you can just use the Universe packages via 'apt install onedrive', consider becoming the Ubuntu package maintainer and contribute back to your community.

Building from Source - High Level Requirements

Build environment must have at least 1GB of memory & 1GB swap space
Install the required distribution package dependencies
libcurl
SQLite 3 >= 3.7.15
Digital Mars D Compiler (DMD) or LDC – the LLVM-based D Compiler

Note: DMD version >= 2.088.0 or LDC version >= 1.18.0 is required to compile this application

Example for installing DMD Compiler

Compilation & Installation

High Level Steps

Install the platform dependancies for your Linux OS
Activate your DMD or LDC compiler
Clone the GitHub repository, run configure and make, then install
Deactivate your DMD or LDC compiler

Building using DMD Reference Compiler

Before cloning and compiling, if you have installed DMD via curl for your OS, you will need to activate DMD as per example below:

Run `source ~/dlang/dmd-2.088.0/activate` in your shell to use dmd-2.088.0.
This will setup PATH, LIBRARY_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DMD, DC, and PS1.
Run `deactivate` later on to restore your environment.

Without performing this step, the compilation process will fail.

Note: Depending on your DMD version, substitute 2.088.0 above with your DMD version that is installed.

git clone https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive.git
cd onedrive
./configure
make clean; make;
sudo make install

Build options

Notifications can be enabled using the configure switch --enable-notifications.

Systemd service files are installed in the appropriate directories on the system, as provided by pkg-config systemd settings. If the need for overriding the deduced path are necessary, the two options --with-systemdsystemunitdir (for the Systemd system unit location), and --with-systemduserunitdir (for the Systemd user unit location) can be specified. Passing in no to one of these options disabled service file installation.

By passing --enable-debug to the configure call, onedrive gets built with additional debug information, useful (for example) to get perf-issued figures.

By passing --enable-completions to the configure call, shell completion functions are installed for bash, zsh and fish. The installation directories are determined as far as possible automatically, but can be overridden by passing --with-bash-completion-dir=<DIR>, --with-zsh-completion-dir=<DIR>, and --with-fish-completion-dir=<DIR> to configure.

Building using a different compiler (for example LDC)

ARMHF Architecture (Raspbian) and ARM64 Architecture (Ubuntu 22.x / Debian 11 / Raspbian)

Note: Build environment must have at least 1GB of memory & 1GB swap space. Check with swapon.

git clone https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive.git
cd onedrive
./configure DC=/usr/bin/ldmd2
make clean; make
sudo make install

Upgrading the client

If you have installed the client from a distribution package, the client will be updated when the distribution package is updated by the package maintainer and will be updated to the new application version when you perform your package update.

If you have built the client from source, to upgrade your client, you must first uninstall your existing 'onedrive' binary (see below), then re-install the client by re-cloning, re-compiling and re-installing the client again to install the new version.

To confirm you have the new version installed, use onedrive --version to determine the version that is now installed.

Uninstalling the client

Uninstalling the client if installed from distribution package

Follow your distribution documentation to uninstall the package that you installed

Uninstalling the client if installed and built from source

From within your GitHub repository clone, perform the following to remove the 'onedrive' binary:

sudo make uninstall

If you are not upgrading your client, to remove your application state and configuration, perform the following additional step:

rm -rf ~/.config/onedrive

Note: If you are using the --confdir option, substitute ~/.config/onedrive for the correct directory storing your client configuration.

If you want to just delete the application key, but keep the items database:

rm -f ~/.config/onedrive/refresh_token
