Istallation

Install Seafile client dependencies

sudo apt update && sudo apt install qt5-default libqtcore4

Download Seafile client

Download DEB files archive and md5 checksum for file integrity check. For Seafile client version 6.0.0 you can download the archive to your current directory via:

pwd
wget wget https://github.com/saljut7/seafile-client-rpi/blob/master/seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz?raw=true -O seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz
wget wget https://github.com/saljut7/seafile-client-rpi/blob/master/seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz.md5?raw=true -O seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz.md5
md5sum -c seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz.md5

If output is...

$ md5sum -c seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz.md5 
seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz: OK

...extract the file archive to your current directory with:

tar xvf seafile-client_6.0.0_rpi.tar.gz

Now you can install only the CommandLine client or the client with GraphicalUserInterface from your current directory.

CommandLine client

The command line client is just what is called "seafile-daemon" so you just need to install the daemon if you don't need a graphical user interface.
