If you right click the main program's executable file, click "Properties", then click the "Permissions" tab, just make sure the checkbox for "Is Executable" or "Allow to Execute" is checked, click apply, okay. Sometimes you may also have to give yourself permission to run (execute) a file, which the FreeFileSync program already had on my system. Since I download all files to my "Downloads" folder first, I moved the extracted "FreeFileSync" folder from my "/Downloads" folder to my "/home" folder to run it from there (the instructions in the web link chose to use the "/opt" root folder), and to manually create a new menu item or desktop shortcut launcher from there as well. How to install FreeFileSync for Linux Mint 17.x or 18.x If you can advise I would apperciate, I could just use the version that installed with the ".deb" file.įYI: I was hoping that the newer FreeFileSync version 8.10 would become available as an easy to install Linux ".deb" file, or that their PPA would include Linux Mint 18.x (Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial), which would automatically create menu shortcut launchers, but so far that has not happened.īut, their download file for Linux is a complete self contained "tarball" archive file that does not require typical installation, which means all you have to do is right click the download file "FreeFileSync_8.10_Ubuntu_16.10_" and extract it, then within their "FreeFileSync" folder right click the "Resources.zip" file and extract it too, then just double click their main program executable which is "FreeFileSync" in their folder to run it. Just wondering now how to get update to install. When I click "Download" I get a Web page open to the same place I downloaded to begin with. This is version 8.10 The one that installed is 8.6. When I run the program it tells me there is an update available. "LuckyBackup" is another very good syncing and backup application in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM). How to Install FreeFileSync on Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux Mint 18.x) or Ubuntu 14.04 (Linux Mint 17.x) Scroll down to Download and click either the 32-bit or 64-bit version ".deb" file for your system It is easier to install the Linux ".deb" files for "FreeFileSync" where you just download the ".deb" file and just double click it, if it does not start to install automatically.įreeFileSync for Linux Mint 18.x (Ubuntu 16.04)
