- =============================================
- Installing the Desktop Synchronization Client
- =============================================
- You can download the latest version of the Nextcloud Desktop Synchronization
- Client from the `Nextcloud download page`_.
- There are clients for Linux, macOs, and Microsoft Windows.
- Installation on Mac OS X and Windows is the same as for any software
- application: download the program and then double-click it to launch the
- installation, and then follow the installation wizard. After it is installed and
- configured the sync client will automatically keep itself updated; see
- :doc:`autoupdate` for more information.
- Linux users must follow the instructions on the download page to add the
- appropriate repository for their Linux distribution, install the signing key,
- and then use their package managers to install the desktop sync client. Linux
- users will also update their sync clients via package manager, and the client
- will display a notification when an update is available.
- Linux users must also have a password manager enabled, such as GNOME Keyring or
- KWallet, so that the sync client can login automatically.
- You will also find links to source code archives and older versions on the
- download page.

- When you have completed selecting your sync folders, click the Connect button
- at the bottom right. The client will attempt to connect to your Nextcloud
- server, and when it is successful you'll see two buttons: one to connect to
- your Nextcloud Web GUI, and one to open your local folder. It will also start
- synchronizing your files.
