Installing & running Wuala
1. Install Java (if not yet installed)
Make sure you have Java version 1.5 or later installed.
To check, type 'java -version'. Java can be downloaded from java.com.
Direct link to Java 1.6 update 3, 32-Bit version:
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=12791
It is recommend to use Sun's JVM. The GUI version only runs with 32-Bit
Java.
2. Download the wuala.tar file from download.wua.la and put it into
the folder you want wuala to reside in (e.g. ~/wuala).
Wuala must have write access to this folder.
(Direct link: wua.la/files/wuala.tar.gz)
3. Untar Wuala: tar -xzf wuala.tar.gz
4. Setup direct file access and streaming (optional)
Firstly, make sure portmap is running and nfs-common available.
(e.g. apt-get install portmap nfs-common)
With Ubuntu, you might also need to uninstall nfs-kernel-server.
Secondly, add an entry like this to your /etc/fstab:
localhost:/wuala /home/luzius/wuala/direct nfs defaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft
For security, Wuala only accepts NFS sessions coming from
localhost. Additionally, we recommend to make sure that only you
have access to the 'direct' folder.
5. Start Wuala by executing the wuala script in the wuala directory.
To run Wuala without GUI, use the -nogui option. If an instance of
Wuala is already running, you can send commands to it by running
"./wuala COMMAND ARGUMENTS", e.g. "./wuala help".
Used Directories:
~/.config/ Wuala will put its configuration file Wuala.cfg there
~/wuala/ Default program directory. Start Wuala with -basepath PATH
if you want it to use another one.
Have fun!
