On Linux

Note:

ownbuild / craft uses cached binary packages from https://download.owncloud.com/desktop/craft/cache/ to speed up the compilation.

Prerequisites

apt install python3 git g++ gcc

Build the client with owncloud dependencies

python3 ./ownbuild.py --branch master --target linux-64-gcc owncloud-client
When built, start the client like this: ./master/linux-64-gcc/bin/owncloud -s

Build the client with system dependencies
