ExpanDrive Server Edition is available for Windows and Linux. Only Intel-based (x86 and x86_64) systems are supported. ARM and other architectures are not supported at this time.
Download the Windows MSI installer from the Server Edition page of the web management console. Both 64-bit and 32-bit builds are available.
The installer is machine-wide and requires administrative rights. It registers the ExpanDrive Server Edition Windows service and installs the required kernel driver. The web configuration UI at http://localhost:28080 is available immediately after installation completes.
After installation, a setup prompt will ask you to enter your server token to activate the instance.
The installer is a standard MSI package and supports msiexec command-line arguments for unattended deployment:
msiexec /i windows_server_edition64_<version>.msiA 32-bit build (windows_server_edition32_<version>.msi) is also available for systems that require it.
Common options:
/passive: show progress only, no interactive prompts
/quiet: run fully silently
/norestart: do not restart automatically
/l*v <path>: write a verbose install log
For headless or scripted activation after a silent install, see the CLI activation option in Setup.
On a fresh Windows system, newly mounted drives may not appear in Windows Explorer for the currently signed-in user until that user signs out and signs back in.
ExpanDrive Server Edition for Linux is distributed as native packages: .deb for Debian and Ubuntu based distributions, and .rpm for RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS based distributions. Download the package for your distribution from the Server Edition page of the web management console.
After installation completes, activate your instance with your server token.
Install the downloaded .deb package through your graphical installer, or from the command line:
Install the downloaded .rpm package with yum:
Or with dnf (Fedora 22 and above):
