Installation

To execute the following commands you need to connect to your server via SSH

Create a virtualenv

Download virtualenv

 wget -O virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/15.0.3.tar.gz

Extract virtualenv
```
 tar xvf virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz
```

Create the environment

 python3 virtualenv-15.0.3/virtualenv.py --system-site-packages ~/onedrive-d/

Activate virtualenv
```
 source ~/onedrive-d/bin/activate
```

Configure and run onedrive-d

Change to the virtualenv directory above
```
 cd onedrive-d
```

Download onedrive-d from github and enter its directory

 git clone https://github.com/xybu/onedrive-d-old.git
 cd onedrive-d-old

Add onedrive-d (virtualenv) directory to the PYTHONPATH

 export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/onedrive-d/lib/python3.7/site-packages

Install onedrive-d

 python3 setup.py install --prefix "/home/user/onedrive-d"
 python3 setup.py clean

Complete installation

 mkdir -p ~/.onedrive-d
 cp ~/onedrive/onedrive-d-old/onedrive_d/res/default_ignore.ini ~/.onedrive-d/ignore_v2.ini

Configure onedrive-d

 onedrive-pref --help
 onedrive-pref

 onedrive-d --help
 onedrive-d start

The onedrive-pref command will initiate a configuration wizard in which you will connect your OneDrive account (via visiting the provided link, logging in and copying the resulting URL into the SSH client). onedrive-d allows you to 'stop', 'start', 'restart' and check the 'status' of the program. To run these commands in the future, activate the virtualenv first.

    source ~/onedrive-d/bin/activate
    onedrive-d

Note: This software isn't an official release nor is it bug-free. You may find it necessary to restart the service on occasion, if it isn't syncing.
