Hey,
I am trying to install Bittorrent Sync from here: http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/downloads
I dont see a rpm, so how do I install this? I am not familiar with compiling and all of that. Detailed steps would be a HUGE help.
Thank you all!

No compilation required, the file is a binary distribution.
I’ve just put the btsync executable in my ~/bin directory and run it from
there. Extract the tar file using the tar command:
tar xfvmz btsync_x64.tar.gz
Copy the extracted file to ~/bin :
cp btsync ~/bin
Run it:
btsync
(Depending on the shell you use, you might have to run ‘rehash’ first)

FYI, this information is in the “Other platforms” documentation at http://
www.bittorrent.com/sync/help/other-platforms
Connect to localhost:8888 in your browser to manage the installation in
Linux (there’s no native GUI).
