Brew Install Dropbox



  1. Once Homebrew is installed and a Brewfile is present, it’s as simple as running: $ brew bundle. Brew bundle will look for a Brewfile in the current directory, but you can also specify the path manually: # will install from a Brewfile in the Dropbox folder $ brew bundle -file=/Dropbox/.
  2. Bundle install # for mac Homebrew users brew install imagemagick # for linux users sudo apt-get install imagemagick 2. Create your app storage folder in Dropbox.
  3. Command Line Fu or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Terminal Posted on May 7, 2017. A few years back when then-15-year-old me just started learning software development I always hear about this “terminal,” along with its other counterparts—bash, command line, CLI, the command prompt—and how it’s so useful and how it makes a developer’s life easier.
  4. What Is Homebrew? Homebrew is a command line utility that automates the process of downloading most of the apps you'll want to install on a new computer. Essentially, you can just type in a single.

Download and install EncFS (v1.7.51 at time of writing) and any dependencies, it’s as easy as ‘brew install homebrew/fuse/encfs‘ Download DropSec, extract DropSec.app from the archive and copy it to your Applications folder.

rcloneseamlessly connects to remote cloud storage on Mac, Linux, Windows and several other operating systems for cloud storage services including Google Drive / Shared Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft OneDrive and many more.The rclone interface is easy to use programatically (like rsync) without bothering to install weighty GUI clients that might not properly support your operating system.In general, remote storage solutions will be rate-limited.“Unlimited” storage such as for Google Workspace for Education, which has unlimited storage space has limited upload and download speed.rclone isn’t bothered by encrypted filesystems, unlike theofficial Dropbox client.

Setup Rclone for your operating system:

Brew Install Dropbox Windows 10

  • Linux: Download and extract–for PC, use amd64. Add to “~/.bash_aliases”:

  • MacOS / Homebrew: brew install rclone

  • Windows: Download, extract, install

Add various remote file shares (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) by:

Note: rclone ≥ 1.37 is necessary for Google Shared Drives.

In these examples, remote is the particular drive name you chose during rclone config.

Configuration is stored in ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf.

  • List remote directories

  • list remote directories under path/to

  • list remote files under path/to

  • count number of files in path/to

copyin rclone by default does not clobber existing remote files, if they haven’t been changed.

  • recursively copy local computer ~/path to remote

  • copy only this directory contents ~/path to remote

Using rclonesyncrequires caution, because sync DELETES files on remote that are not also on local PC!

  • sync local computer ~/path to the remote

  • rclone changelog
  • rclone Google Drive
  • rclone Dropbox

A few years back when then-15-year-old me just started learning software development I always hear about this “terminal,” along with its other counterparts—bash, command line, CLI, the command prompt—and how it’s so useful and how it makes a developer’s life easier.

Hugh Jackman in Swordfish—best hacking scene in a movie ever

Since then I’ve always been intrigued and wanted to learn how to use and master it, but a few “Beginner Terminal Usage” tutorials later, I just can’t get to appreciate how a couple cd’s and pwd’s and ls’s would help me aside from looking cool (like a hacker in the movies). I mean isn’t that what Finder/Windows Explorer is for?

Fast forward a few years of professional software development experience later, terminal usage has become second nature to me (and should to you too!) and it definitely does make one’s life easier—and not just for programming!

This blog post is a love letter to “Past Me” who always wanted to be a command line fu master but just didn’t have any idea where to go next after the cd and pwd tutorials—an answer to a question he’s always asking: what real-life applications can I actually do with the terminal?

Version Control (Git)

Remember that time when you make changes to your source code but want to save a copy of the older file just incase you want to revert back to that version? Of course you do, you posted this on Facebook during college while working on a school project:

PROJECT, PROJECT - Copy, PROJECT - Copy (2), project_new, project_new2, project_newest, projecttest, LATEST, LATEST - Copy, LATEST - Copy (2), PROJECT_hardcopypass, PROJECTOFDOOM, projectofawesome, finalproject, backup of final, superfinalproject

Enter version control (a.k.a. source control), with Git being the most popular one. It solves that problem—you make “savepoints” of your code called commits and you can revert to them anytime. You usually then push your commits to a version control repository host like GitHub or GitLab.

SSH

Dropbox

Relevant XKCD.

SSH (Secure Socket Shell) is a way to access a remote computer through the terminal. Think of it as using the terminal of another computer, from your computer—how cool is that!

For example, you can use SSH to deploy your website to a server—you SSH into your Unix/Linux server, install and setup a LAMP stack, then clone the Git repository of your website’s source code into your server’s public HTML directory. From then on, you just do a git pull from your server everytime you push updates to your code—no need for those clunky time-wasting FTP GUI applications!

Edit text/source code files

When you edit files in your local computer you’d definitely use a text editor, right? What if you need to edit files from a remote server via SSH like config files for instance? Well there’s Vi/Vim for that, a text editor for the command line.

It’s got a lot of powerful features and keybindings, and the learning curve is pretty steep, but it’s all worth it and just takes a bit of practice and habit before you actually master it.

P.S. Other alternatives include nano and emacs, but you’ll probably want to just stick with Vim for now, trust me. And you don’t want to get into those vim vs. emacs wars, too!

Install utilities with a package manager

Homebrew is a package manager for macOS, equivalent to Linux’s apt. Basically, like what it says on their website, it installs stuff you need that Apple didn’t. And it’s really simple too! To install Node.js on your system for example, you just do:

And that’s it! No more messy installers and reading installation guides and stuff.

While we’re at it and installed node, there’s also npm, a package manager for Node modules. Npm modules are usually used (but not limited) for Node.js and front-end web development, like SASS/LESS compilers or linters. You’ll learn more about it as you start learning more about the Node environment.

Install apps

Speaking of Brew, there’s a special Brew utility extension called Cask. You know how when you download macOS apps, you’d open the .dmg file and drag the icon to the Applications folder? Well with Cask, you can install these apps directly through the terminal with just one command, like you would with brew packages!

To see the list of available casks, check out their website.

Efficiently Batch-Delete/Update Files

Want to delete all .jpg files?

Want to move all PDF files from the Downloads folder to the Desktop?

Want to copy files whose filenames contain the string document to Documents folder?

You get the point. For everything else, a simple AskUbuntu or SuperUser search will most likely net you an answer.

Download YouTube videos

Yep! No need to use those clunky unreliable YouTube converter thingy websites.

There’s a lot of options as well, like choosing the video quality and formats. Check out the documentation for more.

Convert Videos

While we’re on the topic of videos: ffmpeg is a really handy tool for working with videos. Here are a few examples:

Convert a .mov video to mp4:

Extract audio from the video:

Print silly ASCII art—with rainbow colors!

And finally, we’re down to the most important commands!

Homebrew Install Dropbox

Or just pipe everything!

How can you say no to the power of the terminal with that?!

Conclusion

“Woohoo! I’m a command line expert now! What do I do next?”

Good for you! You might want to:

  • learn more about dotfiles
  • check out some cool commands and tricks at commandlinefu.com
  • try pimping your terminal with ZSH which is another kind of shell (the default one is Bash)
  • or try mastering Vim
