oss-browser doesn't come with a pre-built package. But manual installation is simple. Download oss-browser from the release page: Extract the Zip archive:

unzip oss-browser-linux-x64.zip

Move the folder to a location:

sudo mv oss-browser-linux-x64/ /opt/

Create a desktop file:

vim ~/.local/share/applications/oss-browser.desktop

With the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=OSS Browser
Comment=Ossbrowser is a graphical management tool developed by Alibaba Cloud. It provides features similar to those of Windows Explorer. Using ossbrowser, you can view, upload, download, and manage objects with ease. 
Exec=/opt/oss-browser-linux-x64/oss-browser
Icon=/opt/oss-browser-linux-x64/resources/custom/icon.ico
Terminal=false

Yes there is no official documentation from Alibaba Cloud for the installation guide for the OSS Browser at this time.

There are a few suggestions for your consideration.

You may do these 3 suggestions at the same time.

  1. Log a new issue on this in the OSS Browser GitHub Repo.

  2. Open a new support ticket on this in your Alibaba Cloud console under Support and Services.

  3. Post a new suggestion on the Alibaba Cloud Connect platform for the product team to review and adopt.

Hope this helps.
