Ubuntu 14.04 | Debian 8

Pyhton3 is still not the standard python interpreter on Ubuntu (or Debian) and due to the lack of python3 support you need to build python3-paramiko yourself. Just follow the instructions, it's easy:

Install the dependencies

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-gnupg python3-crypto python3-ecdsa

• For notification support install python3-notify2
• For the CloudZec icon in notifications install python3-gi
• For keyring support install python3-keyring

Setup paramiko

wget "http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/paramiko/paramiko-1.13.0.tar.gz"
tar -xf paramiko-1.13.0.tar.gz
mkdir build
cd paramiko-1.13.0/
python3 setup.py install --root="./../build/" --optimize=1
cd ..

Get CloudZec sync

git clone http://github.com/KopfKrieg/cloudzec.git

Throw all in one directory

mkdir run
mv build/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/paramiko run/
cp cloudzec/cloudzec run/cloudzec
cp cloudzec/libcloudzec.py run/libcloudzec.py
mkdir run/icon
cp cloudzec/icon/cloudzec_48.png run/icon/cloudzec_48.png

You can now run CloudZec sync from run via ./cloudzec
