Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
There are different ways to install |project_name|:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`distribution-package` - easy and fast if a package is
|
|
available from your distribution.
|
|
- :ref:`pyinstaller-binary` - easy and fast, we provide a ready-to-use binary file
|
|
that comes bundled with all dependencies.
|
|
- :ref:`source-install`, either:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`pip-installation` - installing a source package with pip needs
|
|
more installation steps and requires all dependencies with
|
|
development headers and a compiler.
|
|
- :ref:`git-installation` - for developers and power users who want to
|
|
have the latest code or use revision control (each release is
|
|
tagged).
|
|
|
|

Distribution Package
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Some distributions might offer a ready-to-use ``borgbackup``
|
|
package which can be installed with the package manager. As |project_name| is
|
|
still a young project, such a package might be not available for your system
|
|
yet.

Please ask package maintainers to build a package or, if you can package /
|
|
submit it yourself, please help us with that! See :issue:`105` on
|
|
github to followup on packaging efforts.
|
|
|
|
If a package is available, it might be interesting to check its version
|
|
and compare that to our latest release and review the :doc:`changes`.
|
|
|
|
.. _pyinstaller-binary:
|
|
|
|
Standalone Binary
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|project_name| binaries (generated with `pyinstaller`_) are available
|
|
on the releases_ page for the following platforms:
|
|
|
|
* **Linux**: glibc >= 2.13 (ok for most supported Linux releases)
|
|
* **Mac OS X**: 10.10 (unknown whether it works for older releases)
|
|
* **FreeBSD**: 10.2 (unknown whether it works for older releases)
|
|
|
|
To install such a binary, just drop it into a directory in your ``PATH``,
|
|
make borg readable and executable for its users and then you can run ``borg``::
|
|
|
|
sudo cp borg-linux64 /usr/local/bin/borg
|
|
sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/borg
|
|
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/borg
|
|
|
|
Note that the binary uses /tmp to unpack |project_name| with all dependencies. It will fail if /tmp has not enough free space or is mounted with the ``noexec`` option. You can change the temporary directory by setting the ``TEMP`` environment variable before running |project_name|.
|
|
|
|
If a new version is released, you will have to manually download it and replace
|
|
the old version using the same steps as shown above.

Dependencies
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To install |project_name| from a source package (including pip), you have to install the
|
|
following dependencies first:
|
|
|
|
* `Python 3`_ >= 3.2.2. Even though Python 3 is not the default Python version on
|
|
most systems, it is usually available as an optional install.
|
|
* OpenSSL_ >= 1.0.0
|
|
* libacl_ (that pulls in libattr_ also)
|
|
* liblz4_
|
|
* some Python dependencies, pip will automatically install them for you
|
|
* optionally, the llfuse_ Python package is required if you wish to mount an
|
|
archive as a FUSE filesystem. FUSE >= 2.8.0 is required for llfuse.
|
|
|
|
In the following, the steps needed to install the dependencies are listed for a
|
|
selection of platforms. If your distribution is not covered by these
|
|
instructions, try to use your package manager to install the dependencies. On
|
|
FreeBSD, you may need to get a recent enough OpenSSL version from FreeBSD
|
|
ports.
|
|
|
|
After you have installed the dependencies, you can proceed with steps outlined
|
|
under :ref:`pip-installation`.
|
|
|
|
Debian / Ubuntu
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies with development headers::
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip python-virtualenv \
|
|
libssl-dev openssl \
|
|
libacl1-dev libacl1 \
|
|
liblz4-dev liblz4-1 \
|
|
build-essential
|
|
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev fuse pkg-config # optional, for FUSE support
|
|
|
|
In case you get complaints about permission denied on ``/etc/fuse.conf``: on
|
|
Ubuntu this means your user is not in the ``fuse`` group. Add yourself to that
|
|
group, log out and log in again.
|
|
|
|
Fedora / Korora
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies with development headers::
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install python3 python3-devel python3-pip python3-virtualenv
|
|
sudo dnf install openssl-devel openssl
|
|
sudo dnf install libacl-devel libacl
|
|
sudo dnf install lz4-devel
|
|
sudo dnf install fuse-devel fuse pkgconfig # optional, for FUSE support
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
++++++++
|
|
|
|
Assuming you have installed homebrew_, the following steps will install all the
|
|
dependencies::
|
|
|
|
brew install python3 lz4 openssl
|
|
pip3 install virtualenv
|
|
|
|
For FUSE support to mount the backup archives, you need at least version 3.0 of
|
|
FUSE for OS X, which is available as a pre-release_.
|
|
|
|
.. _pre-release: https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases
|
|
|
|
Cygwin
|
|
++++++
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Running under Cygwin is experimental and has only been tested with Cygwin
|
|
(x86-64) v2.1.0.
|
|
|
|
Use the Cygwin installer to install the dependencies::
|
|
|
|
python3 python3-setuptools
|
|
python3-cython # not needed for releases
|
|
binutils gcc-core
|
|
libopenssl openssl-devel
|
|
liblz4_1 liblz4-devel # from cygwinports.org
|
|
git make openssh
|
|
|
|
You can then install ``pip`` and ``virtualenv``::
|
|
|
|
easy_install-3.4 pip
|
|
pip install virtualenv
|
|
|
|
In case the creation of the virtual environment fails, try deleting this file::
|
|
|
|
/usr/lib/python3.4/__pycache__/platform.cpython-34.pyc
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _pip-installation:
|
|
|
|
Using pip
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Virtualenv_ can be used to build and install |project_name| without affecting
|
|
the system Python or requiring root access. Using a virtual environment is
|
|
optional, but recommended except for the most simple use cases.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If you install into a virtual environment, you need to **activate** it
|
|
first (``source borg-env/bin/activate``), before running ``borg``.
|
|
Alternatively, symlink ``borg-env/bin/borg`` into some directory that is in
|
|
your ``PATH`` so you can just run ``borg``.
|
|
|
|
This will use ``pip`` to install the latest release from PyPi::
|
|
|
|
virtualenv --python=python3 borg-env
|
|
source borg-env/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
# install Borg + Python dependencies into virtualenv
|
|
pip install 'llfuse<0.41' # optional, for FUSE support
|
|
# 0.41 and 0.41.1 have unicode issues at install time
|
|
pip install borgbackup
|
|
|
|
To upgrade |project_name| to a new version later, run the following after
|
|
activating your virtual environment::
|
|
|
|
pip install -U borgbackup
|
|
|
|
.. _git-installation:
|
|
|
|
Using git
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This uses latest, unreleased development code from git.
|
|
While we try not to break master, there are no guarantees on anything. ::
|
|
|
|
# get borg from github
|
|
git clone https://github.com/borgbackup/borg.git
|
|
|
|
virtualenv --python=python3 borg-env
|
|
source borg-env/bin/activate # always before using!
|
|
|
|
# install borg + dependencies into virtualenv
|
|
pip install sphinx # optional, to build the docs
|
|
pip install 'llfuse<0.41' # optional, for FUSE support
|
|
# 0.41 and 0.41.1 have unicode issues at install time
|
|
cd borg
|
|
pip install -r requirements.d/development.txt
|
|
pip install -e . # in-place editable mode
|
|
|
|
# optional: run all the tests, on all supported Python versions
|
|
# requires fakeroot, available through your package manager
|
|
fakeroot -u tox
|
|
|
|
.. note:: As a developer or power user, you always want to use a virtual environment.
