    1. sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

    On Ubuntu 16.04:

    1. sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
    2. sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java /usr/bin/

    On CentOS/Red Hat:

    The package poppler-utils is required for full text search of pdf files.

    On Ubuntu/Debian:

    1. sudo apt-get install poppler-utils

    1. sudo yum install poppler-utils

    Install Python libraries

    First make sure your have installed Python 2.7

    1. sudo easy_install pip

    Install all libraries required by the Community Edition

    Put the license you got under the top level diretory. In our wiki, we use the diretory /data/haiwen/ as the top level directory. If you’re using the free Pro Edition with three users you don’t need a license file.

    1. tar xf seafile-pro-server_1.8.0_x86-64.tar.gz

    2. ├── seafile-license.txt

    You should notice the difference between the names of the Community Server and Professional Server. Take the 1.8.0 64bit version as an example:

    • Seafile Community Server tarball is seafile-server_1.8.0_x86-86.tar.gz; After uncompressing, the folder is seafile-server-1.8.0
    • Seafile Professional Server tarball is seafile-pro-server_1.8.0_x86-86.tar.gz; After uncompressing, the folder is seafile-pro-server-1.8.0
