Download links

The following table provides download links to ossfs installer packages for commonly used Linux distributions. If you want to use ossfs on a different distribution, source code compiling is required.

Procedures of installation

1. Install ossfs.

   Important

   When you download a software package by using a command, you must enter the URL of the software package in a specific format. The following code provides an example on the format of the URL to enter if you want to download the software package of CentOS 7.0 (x64).

   sudo wget https://gosspublic.alicdn.com/ossfs/ossfs_1.91.4_centos7.0_x86_64.rpm

   Ubuntu

   Run the following commands in sequence to install ossfs in Ubuntu 16.04 (x64):

   sudo wget https://gosspublic.alicdn.com/ossfs/ossfs_1.91.4_ubuntu16.04_amd64.deb
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
   sudo gdebi ossfs_1.91.4_ubuntu16.04_amd64.deb

   CentOS or Anolis

   Run the following command to install ossfs in CentOS 7.0 (x64):

   sudo wget https://gosspublic.alicdn.com/ossfs/ossfs_1.91.4_centos7.0_x86_64.rpm
   sudo yum install ossfs_1.91.4_centos7.0_x86_64.rpm

   If your client uses Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) to install RPM packages, dependencies may fail to be downloaded by using YUM due to network environment factors on the client node. To resolve this issue, you can use YUM to download the dependencies over a normal network to a node that runs the same operating system version, and then copy the dependencies to the required node. For example, ossfs runs on FUSE 2.8.4 or later. Run the following command to download the latest version of FUSE from the YUM source to your local device:

   sudo yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=./ fuse

   Important

   To download other dependencies, replace FUSE with the name of the required package.

2. Add the mime.types file if you want the content type and file name extension of the uploaded object to match. ossfs queries the content in /etc/mime.types to configure the content type of the object.

   If you do not add the mime.types file, OSS sets the content type of the uploaded object to application/octet-stream by default.

   Run the following command to add the mime.types file:

   Ubuntu

   Run the following command to add the mime.types file:

   sudo apt-get install mime-support

   CentOS or Anolis

   Run the following command to add the mime.types file:

   sudo yum install mailcap

3. Run the ossfs --versioncommand to view the version information of ossfs. The following output indicates that ossfs is installed.

   The following command provides an example on how to install the dependency library required for compilation in the Ubuntu operating system.

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install automake autotools-dev g++ git libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfuse-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev make pkg-config

   CentOS or Anolis

   The following command provides an example on how to install the dependency library required for compilation in the CentOS system.

   sudo yum makecache
   sudo yum install automake gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel libxml2-devel fuse-devel make openssl-devel

2. Run the following command to download the source code from GitHub, and compile and install the source code.

   git clone https://github.com/aliyun/ossfs.git
   cd ossfs
   ./autogen.sh
