installing bittorrent sync

[iguana]

Hi everyone,
I finished setting up freenas 8.3.1. , making shares and creating jail. I would like to install bittorrent sync . I have not been able to find a guide . I am a beginner and do not know my way around commands. Is it possible for someone to give me some help with a step by step guide?
Thank you

This was easy. Just download the btsync binary, copy and run it from within the jail. Then you can see the console from http://jail:8888. The new 1.1.1.48 or whatever has been the most solid yet. Earlier versions ate memory like crazy.

Hi,

You will find behind a script to install btsync in a jail. You must execute this script in the jail.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
cd /tmp
 
bin_btsync=/usr/local/bin/btsync
 
if [ -e $bin_btsync ]; then
    echo "The current version of Bittorrent Sync :"
    echo `btsync --help | grep "BitTorrent Sync"`
    echo "Do you want to update Bittorrent Sync? (y/N): "
    read install_btsync
    else
    echo "Do you want to install Bittorrent Sync? (y/N): "
    read install_btsync
fi
 
if [ $install_btsync = "y" ]; then
    if [ `ps -aux | grep btsync | wc -l` -gt 1 ]; then
        echo "Stopping btsync:"
        service btsync stop
    fi
    echo "User initialzation btsync"
    if [ `more /etc/passwd | grep btsync | wc -l` -gt 0 ]; then
        echo "The btsync user already exists"
    else
        echo "Creating user btsync"
        pw useradd btsync -m -c "Bittorrent Sync User" -s /bin/sh -w yes

        mkdir $config_dir
    fi
    if [ ! -e $config_btsync_dir ]; then
        mkdir $config_btsync_dir

    chown -R btsync $home_dir
    chmod -R 744 $home_dir

        wget "http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_freebsd_x64.tar.gz"
