Owncloud Applications (view source)
Revision as of 18:39, 8 September 2015

'''Please Note:'''
<blockquote>At times when the ownCloud Community has a new major version release (i.e. 6 7 to 78) some ownCloud applications may no longer function correctly under the new release. Usually the application author has not updated their software to be compatible with the new ownCloud release. However, it is possible to use an application version from the last "point ownCloud release" (i.e. 68.1.0.4, 68.01.31, ...) as a substitute until the author or ownCloud developer gets around to updating the application. In this case a download from GitHub will be required.</blockquote>
* Open a "terminal" window on the Amahi server and "su" to the "root" ID ( Linux administrator).
*Download the ownCloud application. Applications downloaded are in a "zip" file format and should be extracted to a target working directory and not the ownCloud "apps" directory.
*Set the permissions for the application directory and its dependants:
<blockquote>
:'''Ownership''': chown -Rv apache:users <owncloud application directory name>:'''Priviledges''': chmod -Rv 755 <owncloud application directory name></blockquote>
*Open a browser session, go to the ownCloud instance, login as the "administration user", and navigate to the Apps listing.
*The owncloud application should appear in the section for uninstalled disabled applications.
*Click on this application name. Details for the application will appear on the right. Click on the "Enable" button to enable the application.
*Navigate back to the "administration usersuser's" home and check the list of ownCloud applications available, it should be there.
*Test the application to ensure proper functionality. If it does not work try an another early version of the application (remembering to manually remove the application first).
