+) Download DEB package
-As part of the install process you will be asked to install LibFuse which is an open source library that we use to bind our Cloud API for the virtual drive. We also use other core Linux libraries so you may be asked to install these if they are not already installed. These libraries will be needed to be able to use Storage Made Easy for Linux.
+) Open Terminal and go to the folder with the DEB package using cd command
+) Try to install the DEB package using the command (put your version number in this command):
+\\
+```
+sudo dpkg -i storagemadeeasy_<your_version_number>.deb
+```
+\\
+Note that this command may show errors if there is some missing dependencies. It will be fixed on next step.
+) Run next command to correct a system with broken dependencies:
+```
+sudo apt install -f
+```
+\\
+If there was some errors on previous step then this command will fix all that errors.
+Note that this command may work couple minutes.

+\\
+```
+sudo yum install epel-release
+```
+\\
+) Install the RPM package using the command (put your version number in this command):
+\\

-When launching the virtual drive client, you will be asked to specify:
-- Your Storage Made Easy username and login
+{{:/linuxcloudtools:steps:sme_4_linux_cloud_drive_mo.png}}
-- A mount directory that **must actually exist** on your linux file system.
-(The Linux convention is to use /mnt as the mount directory.)
+Launching the EFF Drive when user is not signed in, you will need to follow the steps below:
-Once this information has been entered you can click "Mount".
+* Specify proxy settings if needed
+* Click on 'Sign In' button
+* Sign in page will open in the browser, enter 'Sign in' credentials
+* If 2FA is set up for the account, then enter 2FA code
+* Once auth been completed, then you can close the browser login page and go back to the EFF Drive
+* In the 'Current folder' field, specify a mount directory that *must actually exist* on your linux file system (The Linux convention is to use /mnt as the mount directory.)
+* Click the 'Mount' button
+* If the mount folder is not need anymore then it can be unmount by clicking the 'Unmount' button.
-**Note:** If you are copying a large amount of files using the drive the access to the directory you mounted may slow down so be aware of this.
+==Note:==
+* If you are copying a large amount of files using the drive the access to the directory you mounted may slow down

-===== 14 Note! =====
+===== 14 Additional Points to Note =====
+**File Sizes:** For certain providers we are unable to get the file size after the first cloud sync. This is because the Cloud Storage Providers either do not provide file sizes or they store files in internal formats so the file size is unknown. The Linux File System cannot handle zero file sizes so for files such as this they are given a special file type which is that of a web location or .webloc. These files, when you try and download or copy will launch a web browser and download the file. This will only happen once. On the first download the file size is known so the file is then accessible as normal from the Linux OS.\\ \\
-{{:/linuxcloudtools:steps:sme_14_note.png}}
+**Icon Warning:** If you are in icon view rather than list view the file organiser pulls down data to build the icons. This can take longer to view the file lists until this caching is done.\\ \\ You could choose to use a file manager such as [[https://midnight-commander.org/ | Midnight Commander]] to get around this.
