Free Software and Documentation Downloads

On this page, you can download the following:

We recommend you to download the ZCloud developer documentation package of an appropriate format, and install it in a virtual machine running a Linux distribution. Both packages contain identical materials. In particular, they contain the software documentation about ZCloud in the standardized Linux man page format, which provides more detailed ZCloud information for technically oriented audience.

The ZCloud Starter Client Bundle for now contains a highly rated Amazon AWS S3 client:

Note that to install and use the Amazon S3 Authentication Tool for Curl, you MUST do the following first

  • sudo apt-get install curl
  • sudo apt-get install libdigest-hmac-perl

We will add more in the future. Please visit this page periodically. We will update this page whenever there are new additions

In addition, for users who are comfortable with command line tools, we also recommend s3cmd. The official site provides ready to install RPM packages. Ubuntu provides DEB package for the utility too.

To use s3cmd with ZCloud, other than setting the "endpoint" in its configuration file (e.g. $HOME/.s3cfg) to the hostname/IP of the ZCloud virtual appliance, it works out of box.

Please note that the Starter Client Bundle is offered for your convenience only. We do not provide any support to these software. We endeavor to keep our offerings in sync with what Amazon AWS provides, but can not guarantee that we can always keep the bundle current. You are encouraged to check out Amazon S3 Sample Code & Libraries from time to time independently if using the latest offerings is what you prefer.

All software contained in the bundle are downloaded directly from the Amazon S3 Sample Code & Libraries and then re-packaged without any further modifications. They are provided so that as soon as you have obtained your copy of the ZCloud Virtual Appliance, you have some well written AWS S3 clients to try it out with.
