To install the client, first add the signing key:
sudo wget https://linux-clients.seafile.com/seafile.asc -O /usr/share/keyrings/seafile-keyring.asc
Then add the repo to your apt source list, using the line corresponding to your Debian/Ubuntu version :
For Debian 9
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/seafile-keyring.asc] https://linux-clients.seafile.com/seafile-deb/stretch/ stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seafile.list"
For Debian 10
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/seafile-keyring.asc] https://linux-clients.seafile.com/seafile-deb/buster/ stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seafile.list"
For Ubuntu 18.04
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/seafile-keyring.asc] https://linux-clients.seafile.com/seafile-deb/bionic/ stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seafile.list"
For Ubuntu 20.04
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/seafile-keyring.asc] https://linux-clients.seafile.com/seafile-deb/focal/ stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seafile.list"
Update your local apt cache :
sudo apt update
Now install the client:
sudo apt install -y seafile-gui
If you only want to install the command-line client, run sudo apt-get install seafile-cli instead.
If you want to install the debug symbols (for example, when you want to report a bug), you can install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install libsearpc-dbg ccnet-dbg libccnet-dbg seafile-daemon-dbg libseafile-dbg seafile-gui-dbg
