To install it [http://www.wuala.com 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 need several packagesfile (you can go back in time).
For Fedora 12 you will need to install: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 others.
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
== Install ==
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 <nowiki>http://www.wuala.com/files/wuala.tar.gz</nowiki>
3. Untar it as root is in /usr/local(This will create a directory wuala)
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
I found a little init.d script that sort of works but it is not perfect. For example I can't seem to make it work with service so that it starts at bootup or shows that status is started. So if someone can fix it it would be great.
Copy the code below in file called wuala in /etc/init.d and make it executable
<nowiki>
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 235 99 10
# description: Start or stop the Wuala server
#

There is a potential init script that might work [http://pascal.nextrem.ch/2009/10/20/wuala-init-d-script/ here] and another one [http://cloudservers.rackspacecloud.com/index.php/Ubuntu_-_Setting_up_Wuala here].
