['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', ' File "dropbox/client/main.pyc", Note: If you get some error like: ImportError: libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory cd ~ & wget -O - "" | tar xzf - Run Dropbox DaemonĪfter downloading it, run the Daemon to start the headless Dropbox service which will not only create a folder in the home directory to sync files but also give a link that we need to paste in the browser to login into the account. Now, copy-paste the below command that will not only download the Dropbox daemon’s archived folder on the server but also extract it to a folder “dropbox-dist” (hidden folder) in the server’s home directory. sudo dnf install wgetĭownload and extract Headless Dropbox daemon Or if you do not want to update, then simply rebuild the repo cache using the command:īefore moving further to install the Headless Dropbox on Centos 8 or 7, lets first the get Wget tool to download packages using the command line.
Once you got the Server access, update its existing packages to make sure everything is up to date. If you are using any other Linux or Window system then simply open the Command terminal and use the following syntax:įor example, if my CentOS 8 server IP is 192.168.0.105 and username is root then the to access the SSH the command will be: Here, we are using MobaXterm on Windows to access the CLI server via SSH. Therefore, it will be a great idea to start the command terminal in GUI Linux Desktop or Command Prompt in Windows to access the CLI server using SSH. Therefore, from CentOS 8 CLI Server, it would not be easy to copy and use that in other system’s browser.
We are using the SSH because while installing Dropbox, it will give a link to the login account you have with this cloud service and that needs a browser. To start the SSH server, if not, the command is sudo systemctl start sshd However, in case it is not then use the command to get it: sudo dnf install openssh-server Access Syncing folder Install DropBox headless on CentOS 8 Server command line Start SSH serverīy default the OpenSSH server will already be there on your CentOS 8 Linux, thus no need to install it.
