- The easiest way to install BitTorrent is to run the install_nix.sh
- script included in the source code. The rest of these directions are
- included for historical reasons.
- ----------------------------------------
- Before installing BitTorrent 5.x, remove any older versions of the
- BitTorrent client that may be installed. This command will tell you
- if you have an older version of BitTorrent installed:
- ls -dl /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/BitTorrent* /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/khashmir*
- Many of the following instructions require root privileges.
- Prerequisites for installing BitTorrent on any generic UNIX system:
- ----------------------------------------
- Install Python, version 2.3 or later. (2.4 recommended)
- http://python.org/
- Install wxWidgets, version 2.6 or later, in the Unicode flavor.

- Install Psyco.

- In all cases, it is STRONGLY recommended that you install these
- packages using the standard package management system on your
- particular distribution.
- Next, be sure to remove any older versions of BitTorrent that may be
- installed.
- How to install BitTorrent using Python's distutils system:
- ----------------------------------------
- Install BitTorrent by running this from the root of the source code
- directory:
- $ python setup.py install
- How to build a .deb format Debian package and install it:
- ----------------------------------------
- First, remove any older versions of BitTorrent that may be installed:
- (this command will also remove BitTornado)
- $ sudo apt-get remove bittorrent bittorrent-gui
- Build a proper deb using the following command:
- $ sh build_nix_pkg.sh deb
- then install the .deb:
- $ sudo dpkg -i dist/bittorrent_5.x.y_python2.z.deb
- How to build an .rpm format package and install it:
- ----------------------------------------
- Generate an .rpm format package:
- $ python setup.py bdist_rpm
- Then install the .rpm:
- $ sudo rpm -i dist/BitTorrent-5.x.y-1.noarch.rpm
- How to add BitTorrent as the default mime-type handler:
- ----------------------------------------
- This step is optional. Put a line in /etc/mailcap which is similar to
- the following, only replace the path to /usr/bin/bittorrent.py with
- the one it's actually in.
- application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/bittorrent.py %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
- You may have to restart your web browser for it to start using
- BitTorrent.
- If you're using a web browser which doesn't respect /etc/mailcap you
- can go into the mime-type configuration for your web browser and
- manually associate application/x-bittorrent with btdownloadgui.py
- (with the appropriate path, of course.)
