Set up Rclone from Command Line only

What if I want to set up Rclone in my cloud server which does not have a browser? It has command line only. I haven't found any solution. Thank you.

Rclone is a command line utility so it does not require a browser.
What is the problem you are having?

I want to set up a Google Drive backup using RClone, but it can't authorized because browser doesn't open. (Check image attached)

When the config ask you "Use auto config?" say n (No)
Then a link will ben given which you can copy and paste on your current computer, after that a code will be given which you need to enter to the command.

@ruminir That question that asks you Y/N, and mentions working on a remote or headless machine, what it's referring to is pretty much the setup you described. Headless means it doesn't have its own monitor, and you have to remotely access it, like with SSH. Hope that helps for future endeavors :slight_smile:
VPS will almost always be headless, Raspberri Pis often will be, etc.
