Synology: How install cloud station client on Ubuntu 14.04 or Mint 17

How can i install cloud station client on Ubuntu 14.04 or Mint17? I have a DS215j and in the official Download Center Synology, only has Fedora installer. Should I download the Fedora package and convert the .rmp extension to .deb and then install it? Other possibilities?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Use alien tool for converting alien binary packages into Debian packages or directly installing on Ubuntu system.

    1. Install alien tool on your ubuntu box $ sudo apt-get install alien
    2. Install .rpm package directly $ sudo alien -i package_file.rpm

    For more info check man page of alien and community wiki

    UPDATE

    Synology Cloud Station debian package version 3.2-3487 is not available but 3.2-3484 is !
