I started out with a manual installation on version 4.5.4. It was located in a /home/ folder rather than the /var/www/ directory, which gave me opportunity to think some more. So, let’s begin. Go to the folder your ownCloud installation is in and tar it, in case anything goes wrong. sudo tar -cjvf owncloud.tar.bz2 owncloud/ Since it’s now owned by root because of the sudo, make it yours now. sudo chown orangensaft:orangensaft owncloud.tar.bz2 Subscribe to the new ownCloud server repository. sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list Add this line at the bottom: deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/Debian_6.0/ / Then add the key, update your repositories and install owncloud.
