To run SpiderOak Groups from the command line, you need to know where the executable is on your operating system.
Windows
The standard location is:
"C:\Program Files\SpiderOak Groups\SpiderOakGroups.exe"
The path to the executable on Windows contains a space, so it must be quoted. While the default location for Program Files is on the C: drive, some Windows installations have it elsewhere, so adjust as appropriate. Running the 32 bit version of Groups on a 64 bit version of Windows is unusual but possible. In that case the executable is in the "Program Files (x86)" folder instead of "Program Files"; again adjust as appropriate.
Once you have found the executable, use it to preface the commands you give on the command line. For example, to run the command --selection
, the correct syntax would be:
"C:\Program Files\SpiderOak Groups\SpiderOakGroups.exe" --selection
The path to the executable should be enclosed in quote marks as shown.
Mac
/Applications/SpiderOakGroups.app/Contents/MacOS/SpiderOakGroups
Once you have found the executable, use it to preface the commands you give on the command line. For example, to run the command --selection
, the correct syntax would be:
/Applications/SpiderOakGroups.app/Contents/MacOS/SpiderOakGroups --selection
Linux
SpiderOakGroups
The full path is /usr/bin/SpiderOakGroups, but /usr/bin is in everyone's path, so "SpiderOakGroups" is sufficient.
