here the procedure to compile and install on a SME9 / CentOS 6 system
Sync server
according to http://moz-services-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html
prerequesite
yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-centos-sclo --enablerepo=smedev,smecontribs signal-event yum-modify yum install make git-core gcc gcc-c++ phyton27-build scl-utils scl-utils-build python27-python-devel python27-python-virtualenv python27-build --enablerepo=centos-sclo*
download and build
git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver cd syncserver scl enable python27 bash make build
then test it :
make test
configure and run
make serve
This should start a server on http://localhost:5000/. try elinks http://localhost:5000/ and should display "it works! "
Now go into Firefox's about:config page, search for a setting named "tokenServerURI", and change it to point to your server:
identity.sync.tokenserver.uri: http://localhost:5000/token/1.0/sync/1.5
There is one setting that you must specify before running the server: the client-visible URL for the service. Open ”./syncserver.ini” and locate the following lines:
[syncserver] public_url = http://localhost:5000/
The default value of “public_url” will work for testing purposes on your local machine. For final deployment, change it to the external, publicly-visible URL of your server.
By default the server will use an in-memory database for storage, meaning that any sync data will be lost on server restart. You will almost certainly want to configure a more permanent database, which can be done with the “sqluri” setting:
[syncserver] sqluri = sqlite:////path/to/database/file.db
This setting will accept any SQLAlchemy database URI; for example the following would connect to a mysql server:
[syncserver] sqluri = pymysql://username:password@db.example.com/sync
better db support

auth server and its interface
according to http://moz-services-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howtos/run-fxa.html#howto-run-fxa
this is if you want to handle yourself also the auth service, but you can let it to Mozilla and still use your local syncserver.
