[Martin Gallant](https://plus.google.com/u/0/106520267009287985667) contributed this checklist to install `google-drive-ocamlfuse` on a fresh Debian Jessie VM with only the base packages installed. (Updated for Jessie 8.2 installed via netinstall. See [issue #145](https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse/issues/145).) These utilities get me started from a base Debian Jessie install: sudo apt-get install sudo ssh Then install project dependencies: sudo apt-get install opam ocaml make fuse camlp4-extra build-essential pkg-config Create `fuse` group (if not already present): sudo groupadd fuse Debian has a special user group to allow fuse access. Log out, and log back in after this to make change effective: sudo usermod -a -G fuse *user* I think this is a bug in Jessie, as this was already done in all my other Debian boxes: sudo chown root:fuse /dev/fuse sudo chmod 660 /dev/fuse Get the packages installed. I used the default on all installer prompts: opam init opam update opam install depext eval `opam config env` opam depext google-drive-ocamlfuse opam install google-drive-ocamlfuse . /home/*user*/.opam/opam-init/init.sh > /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true
