First, download the linux installer from https://www.goodsync.com/download/cc-runner-install-x86_64-release.run

Once downloaded, ensure that you grant the installer execution permissions:

chmod +x cc-runner-install-x86_64-release.run Then, run the downloaded installer:


The installer will prompt the user for the following information: Your Company ID will be located in your Control Center under the Settings tab. The last step is to run the following command so that the Linux machine communicates to the Control Center:

gs-cc-runner /cc-runner & This command will terminate on shutdown, so the command should be set as a startup script for persistence.

There are several approaches for this task, but two of the most common methods to automate startup scripts in Linux are via a cronjob and via rc.local.

Below is a link to one example:


In Synology NAS, this is most commonly done via rc.d:

The user/device will now appear in Control Center as a runner under the Runners tab.
