# NFS and Mount to TIYCam

To run the applications in development on the TIYCam, we can install NFS on the host development computer, in our case, it is ubuntu 20.  

## Installation of NFS

Use the following command on host development PC to install NFS:

```markup
$sudo apt install -y nfs-kernel-server nfs-common -y
```

## Configuration

```markup
$nano /etc/exports
```

and add:

/home/ubuntu \*(rw,sync,no\_root\_squash,no\_subtree\_check)

<mark style="color:red;">Note there should be no space between rw,sync,no\_boot\_squash,no\_substree\_check, otheriwse it will fail to start the NFS.</mark>

'home/ubuntu' is the directory of the home directory of host development computer.&#x20;

To restart the NFS server:

```markup
$sudo systemctl restart nfs-server
```

To check the status of NFS server:

```markup
$sudo systemctl status nfs-server
```

## Mount the NFS directory onto TIYCam

Telnet into the TIYcam:

```markup
$telnet IPaddress-TIYcam
```

The username is root, and password is default to be blank.

Use the following command on TIYCam (note: not the host development PC)

```markup
$mount -t nfs -o tcp -o nolock IPaddress-of-hostpc:/home/ubuntu /mnt
```

where IPaddress-of-hostpc is the IP address of the host pc that resides in the same local area network.
