Next up is to install rsync and lsyncd. First, rsync is simple, and could already be installed (you don’t need to run it as a server, just the client), make sure you have it with:
apt-get install rsync
Next is lsyncd. There is no official Debian package yet, but it’s simple to build from source and install. First off, if you don’t have build essentials you’ll need them, as well as libxml2-dev to build the lsyncd source. Installing those is as simple as:
apt-get install libxml2-dev build-essential
Now we’ll get the lsyncd code (you can check for a newer version at http://lsyncd.googlecode.com) and build that:
wget http://lsyncd.googlecode.com/files/lsyncd-1.26.tar.gz tar -zxf lsyncd-1.26.tar.gz cd lsyncd-1.26 ./configure make; make install
This install does not install the configuration file, so we’ll do that manually now:
cp lsyncd.conf.xml /etc/
