How to install ossbrowser?


I need to download some files using the preset oss path, access key id, and access key secret. I downloaded the file for ubuntu from https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/61872.htm?spm=a2c63.p38356.b99.112.26f94e20idgreZ, however, I am unable to install the browser.

Can someone guide me on how to install the oss browser?

I found no guide on installation and launching the browser on ubuntu.


Solution

  • oss-browser doesn't come with a pre-built package. But manual installation is simple. Download oss-browser from the release page: https://github.com/aliyun/oss-browser/blob/master/all-releases.md Extract the Zip archive:

    unzip oss-browser-linux-x64.zip
    

    Move the folder to a location:

    sudo mv oss-browser-linux-x64/ /opt/
    

    Create a desktop file:

    vim ~/.local/share/applications/oss-browser.desktop
    

    With the following content:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Type=Application
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=OSS Browser
