Wuala is an application developed by Lacie. It is a solution to offer some online storage in the "cloud"

It allows automatic backup of your data and synchronisation between PCs as well as time keep track or "version" of you file (you can go back in time)

It is a Java application and because of that can more or less run on every computer.

On their website they only have a package for Ubuntu but there is a package for all the other.

To install it you need several packages

For Fedora 12 you will need to install:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-1, java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1, fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils 

If you don't need the full system integration you don't need fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils but you will loose having a virtual drive of your online data on the desktop

1. Installation of dependencies

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1 fuse-libs fuse xdg-utils

2. Download the latest version of wuala

wget http://www.wuala.com/files/wuala.tar.gz

3. Untar it as root is /usr/local

cd /usr/local
tar xvfz wuala.tar.gz

This will create a directory wuala.

4. Manually start the program (make sure you have an account with them first)

/usr/local/wuala/wuala  -basepath /usr/local/wuala login YourUserName YourPassword

if all goes well you have started the program successfully and can test it

/usr/local/wuala --help
/usr/local/wuala/wuala showStatus   -> will tell you if you are online
/usr/local/wuala/wuala showSettings -> will show your settings

5. Start Wuala as a service
