### Contributions welcome

I'm not actively developing the indicator at the moment but am keeping an eye on bug reports and will test and merge pull requests. If you'd like to contribute, please raise a bug in the tracker, I'll be notified and get back to you.

## Installation

The recommended installation method is using the [Debian and Ubuntu Desktop Packages for BitTorrent Sync](http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/19560-debian-and-ubuntu-desktop-packages-for-bittorrent-sync/) which includes the indicator.

### Ubuntu/Debian (i386, and amd64)
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install btsync-user
```
If you get a *command not found* error, run `sudo apt-get install python-software-properties software-properties-common` first.

The indicator will start on login with BitTorrent Sync.

### Debian (i386, amd64, powerpc, armel, and armhf)
```
sudo gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 6BF18B15
sudo gpg --armor --export 6BF18B15 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo echo deb http://debian.yeasoft.net/btsync $(lsb_release -cs) main contrib non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/btsync.list
sudo echo deb-src http://debian.yeasoft.net/btsync $(lsb_release -cs) main contrib non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/btsync.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install btsync-user
```
The indicator will start on login with BitTorrent Sync.

### Arch Linux
btsyncindicator is available in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org).
```
sudo packer -S --noedit --noconfirm btsyncindicator
```

### Other distributions
The indicator is not packaged for other distros. You will have to [download BitTorrent Sync](http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html), then download and run the indicator seperately:
```
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/marxjohnson/btsyncindicator.git
~/btsyncindicator/btsyncindicator.py`
```
You may want to make it start on login.

## Documentation

The API used by the indicator is (partially) documented on the [GitHub Wiki](https://github.com/marxjohnson/btsyncindicator/wiki)
