[SOLVED] Installing DropBox

Psionman · 11-26-2011, 07:11 AM

I'm running Puppy-Lucid

I am trying to install DropBox as described here

I have got to the bit where it says:

Code:

Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.

$ ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

How do I know where the ".dropbox-dist folder" is?

If you installed exactly as described it's in your home folder, but is hidden in both your file manager and ls by default. Open a terminal and type

Code:

ls -a ~/

and examine the output - it should be there.

To check using the filemanager, go to your home folder and press ctrl-h on your keyboard which should show it.

The ~/ above is shorthand for the current user's home directory.
