This is the fastest way for beginners to start using File Browser. Although, there other ways to install it.
- Download File Browser and put it on your PATH.
- Run
filebrowser -s /path/to/your/files
.
Done! It will tell you the address in which File Browser is running. You'll only need to open it and use the following credentials (you must change them!):
- Username:
admin
- Password:
admin
If you're running linux or macOS, you can use a very special script - made by Kyle Frost - to download the latest version of File Browser and install it on /usr/local/bin
.
{% tabs %} {% tab title="curl" %}
curl -fsSL https://filebrowser.github.io/get.sh | bash
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="wget" %}
wget -qO- https://filebrowser.github.io/get.sh | bash
{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
If you're on Windows, you can use PowerShell to install File Browser too. You should run the following command as administrator since it needs permissions to add the executable to the PATH.
iwr -useb https://filebrowser.github.io/get.ps1 | iex
