Debian, Ubuntu and Derivatives

Use our repository at repo.wuala.com:

  1. Download and install the repository installer package: wuala-repo-installer_2010-05-26_all.deb

    This adds the Wuala repository to your package manager.

    Synaptic: Reload the repository information and search for "Wuala"
    or from the terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wuala

Upgrade an existing installation (if you want to preserve online time and local settings):

  1. Stop wuala and make sure the WualaDrive is correctly unmounted afterwards
  2. Install as described above but do not start it up yet
  3. Rename the folder wuala in your home directory to .wuala
  4. Edit the file Wuala.cfg in the .config directory in you home directory and change the line starter=/home/.../wuala to starter=/usr/bin/wuala

You can start Wuala from the application menu (applications > network).
