Linux
Debian and Ubuntu based distributions
Simple Installation for Debian and Ubuntu
For Debian and Ubuntu based distributions the easiest way to get started is to download and install the latest .deb package (64 bit), either through the graphical installer or via the command-line with the following command.
sudo apt install ./ExpanDrive_*_amd64.deb
Replace the filename with the actual downloaded package name, or use the wildcard pattern shown above.
Installing the .deb in this fashion will also automatically install the apt repository and code signing key to enable easy updates using the system package manager.
Manual Repository Installation for Debian and Ubuntu
Manual repository installation is useful when the simple .deb installation doesn't work, letting you troubleshoot each step separately. It's also helpful if you need to automate ExpanDrive installation across multiple systems or prefer to manually verify security keys before adding them to your system.
You can install the repository and key manually with the following commands:
curl https://packages.expandrive.com/keys/expandrive.asc | gpg --dearmor > packages.expandrive.gpg
sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 packages.expandrive.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/packages.expandrive.gpg] https://packages.expandrive.com/expandrive stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/expandrive.list'
Then you update the package cache and install ExpanDrive using:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install expandrive
RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS based distributions
Simple Installation for RHEL, Fedora and CentOS
Download our latest .rpm package (64-bit) and use yum to install ExpanDrive and the required dependencies.
sudo yum localinstall ./ExpanDrive-*.x86_64.rpm
Replace the filename with the actual downloaded package name, or use the wildcard pattern shown above.
Installing the .rpm will also automatically configure the yum repository and code signing key to enable easy update using the system package manager.
Manual Repository installation for RHEL, Fedora and CentOS
Manual repository installation is useful when the simple .rpm installation doesn't work, letting you troubleshoot each step separately. It's also helpful if you need to automate ExpanDrive installation across multiple systems or prefer to manually verify security keys before adding them to your system.
You can install the yum repo manually using the following commands:
sudo rpm --import https://packages.expandrive.com/keys/expandrive.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[expandrive]\nname=expandrive\nbaseurl=https://packages.expandrive.com/rpm\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.expandrive.com/keys/expandrive.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/expandrive.repo'
Then update your package cache and install Expandrive using dnf
(Fedora 22 and above):
sudo dnf check-update
sudo dnf install expandrive
or using yum
yum check-update
sudo yum install expandrive
AppImage Installation
Most Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and OpenSUSE, can handle AppImages. AppImage provides a portable, distribution-agnostic way to run ExpanDrive without traditional installation. This method requires no root permissions and doesn't modify system files.
To install the AppImage, download the file.
After downloading the file, make it executable. Replace the filename with the actual downloaded package name, or use the wildcard pattern shown below:
chmod +x ExpanDrive-*.AppImage
You can now run ExpanDrive and start configuring your Integrations.
Installing or Updating ExpanDrive's Public Key
During an update of ExpanDrive, if you receive an error stating that The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG
, this indicates that the version of the key you have is expired.
To resolve this, the following commands will update the public key stored on your system:
Debian and Ubuntu based distributions
curl https://packages.expandrive.com/keys/expandrive.asc | gpg --dearmor > packages.expandrive.gpg
sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 packages.expandrive.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/
RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS based distributions
sudo rpm --import https://packages.expandrive.com/keys/expandrive.asc
Once the key is updated, rerun your updater and the update will complete without error.
