How to install CmisSync

Nicolas Raoul edited this page May 26, 2014 · 54 revisions

On Windows (Vista or more recent):

  1. Install the .NET Framework 4.5
  2. Download the latest CmisSync_xxx.msi file from the Downloads page.
  3. Run the downloaded file.

Usage

  1. After the setup wizard, you should see a gear-like icon in the tray.
  2. Click on it and choose "Add a CMIS folder..."
  3. Enter the details of your CMIS repository. If you don't know the repository id, you can use CMIS Explorer to find out. This part will be made much simpler in the future.
  4. That's all! CmisSync should now be download the folders/files, and will update your local copy with any new content added server-side.
  5. Enjoy the content! Up-syncing is not supported yet. New features are added every day, so follow us on Twitter to be informed about the latest developments.

Troubleshooting

Installation failure

If installation fails, please find the installation log and send it to us at CmisSync@aegif.jp The log file can be found inside AppData\Local\Temp, for instance C:\Users\nico\AppData\Local\Temp\CmisSync_20140213135800_0_CmisSync.msi.log or similar (Note: Configure Windows to show hidden files, otherwise you might not see AppData).

Crash or strange behavior

If CmisSync crashes or behaves strangely, please create an issue report here.
Please:

  1. Attach the log file. CmisSync's log file can usually be found at C:\Users\nico\AppData\Roaming\cmissync\debug_log.txt (replace nico with your user name. Note: Configure Windows to show hidden files, otherwise you might not see AppData).
  2. Does a C:\Users\nico\AppData\Roaming\cmissync\xyz.cmissync file gets created?
  3. What Operating System do you use? (Windows, Mac, Linux) What version? (Vista, 7, ...) 32bit or 64bit?
  4. What CMIS server (product and version) are you using? (if you know)

Thanks a lot for helping improve CmisSync!

If you want to investigate further, you can watch the log in real-time using BareTail or by typing the following command in PowerShell:

Get-Content C:\Users\<YOUR-USER>\AppData\Roaming\cmissync\debug_log.txt -Wait

If things break, how to reset?

If you want to reset everything locally, so that you can start again from scratch, please do the following:

  1. Stop CmisSync.
  2. Delete all folders under C:\Users\nico\CmisSync (replace nico with your user name). First make sure that all of your work is saved on the server or at another location than the one you delete.
  3. Delete all of the files in the C:\Users\nico\AppData\Roaming\cmissync\ folder (replace nico with your user name).
  4. Start CmisSync.
  5. You now have zero remote folders configured. Use the "Add remote folder" menu to add some.
