grive2
======

Description
-----------

grive2 is an open source Linux client for Google Drive forked from the original grive.

User instructions
-----------------

grive2 is available via the modules system.  To add it to your environment run:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ module load grive2-dev/0.5.1

Create a directory (in workspace, please!) for holding the contents of your Google Drive.  Run

.. code-block:: bash

    $ grive -a

and follow the instructions to allow grive to sync the directory with your Google Drive.  Future syncs simply require (e.g. via cron)

.. code-block:: bash

    $ grive

to be run.  Note that grive is considered 'beta quality' by its authors; whilst it seems to work, sometimes it throws an error and must be re-run.

Admin notes
-----------

First, I installed the required header dependencies not yet installed: libyajl-dev, libgcrypt20-dev, libboost-filesystem1.55-dev, and libiberty-dev.  I checked out the code from git:

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/vitalif/grive2
    cd grive2
    mkdir build; cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/common/debian/9.1/Core/grive2-dev/grive2-dev-0.5.1 ..
    make
    make install
