For Linux
The Linux version is optimized for Ubuntu distribution version 8 and 9. You can still try installation on other Linux
distributions (for evaluation purpose only).
If you want to install using the command lines:
Run the script install.sh in the Linux folder of the installation disc, which will guide you through the steps below.
1 Remove the beta version of Synology Assistant (if any).
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Synology /usr/local/bin/SynologyAssistant
2 Extract SynologyAssistant-[number].tar.gz to the directory you want, such as “/usr/local” or “.”
tar -C ./ -zxvf SynologyAssistant-[number].tar.gz
3 If you are using 64bit Ubuntu, install the 32bit libraries.
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
4 Create the shortcut to /usr/local/bin.
sudo ln -sf /path/install/SynologyAssistant/SynologyAssistant \
/usr/local/bin/SynologyAssistant
5 To run Synology Assistant, you can either use the following command:
/path/install/SynologyAssistant/SynologyAssistant
Or run the shortcut:
/usr/local/bin/SynologyAssistant
If /usr/local/bin exists in your environment variable $PATH, just type:
SynologyAssistant
If you want to install using the GUI:
1 Go to /usr/local and /usr/local/bin and delete the following folders (if any):
Synology, SynologyAssistant
2 Insert the installation disc into your computer, and then double-click the SynologyInstall icon on the desktop.
