rclone installation

Rclone is a simple executable file so there is no need to install anything. You just need to download rclone, extract it, add executable permission and that's all.

Log on to your SSH and download the newest rclone for linux 64 bit
cd && wget https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
Now extract it
unzip ~/rclone-*.zip && rm ~/rclone-*.zip
That's all. Now you can go to the rclone directory and execute the file. We will make it more complex so that rclone command will be recognized.
if ! grep -w "PATH=\$HOME/bin" ~/.bashrc ; then echo "PATH=\$HOME/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc ; fi ; mkdir -p ~/bin 
Copy the rclone file to your bin
cp ~/rclone-*/rclone ~/bin
Remove unused rclone directory
rm -r ~/rclone-*
Use the following command to get rclone help
rclone -h
