# Installing Deluge on Mac OSX
|
|
|
|
## Deluge.app
|
|
|
|
A Deluge.app package is available for [download](http://download.deluge-torrent.org/mac_osx/)
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## MacPorts
|
|
|
|
These instructions and [portfile](https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=deluge) work on OSX Snow Leopard 10.6 & Lion 10.7 with Deluge 1.3.x. They also assume a clean install of OSX (no XQuartz, Darwine, Winebottler, or MacPorts / Fink installed).
|
|
|
|
This methodology is time consuming, but less error-prone for the uninitiated. It will take a few hours normally to download and compile along with using several gigabytes of disk-space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Download and install:
|
|
|
|
* Xcode from App Store
|
|
* [MacPorts](http://www.macports.org) *(v2.0.3 as of writing)*
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
There are two interface options when installing Deluge, one is to use **X11**, the other **Quartz-GTK**. `X11` is the *classic* Linux interface, while `Quartz-GTK` uses the native OSX interface. The `Quartz-GTK` is faster and looks better but is a bit more error prone, so it is up to you.
|
|
|
|
Open Terminal (under Utilities) and all the following steps will be done from here.
|
|
|
|
#### X11 Interface
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo port install deluge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Quartz-GTK Interface
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo port install deluge +no_x11 +quartz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Start Deluge
|
|
|
|
1. Open Terminal, assuming port is in your path (/opt/local/bin)
|
|
2. Start deluged daemon:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
deluged-2.7 &
|
|
```
|
|
1. Start deluge interface:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
deluge-2.7 &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Optional Steps
|
|
|
|
#### GTK Engines
|
|
To get a better looking interface, you can install gtk-engines2 (or others [GTK engines](http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=engine)) :
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo port install gtk-engines2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set you preferred engine (clearlooks in this case, which is nice)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo 'gtk-theme-name = "Clearlooks"' | sudo tee /opt/local/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Language
|
|
If you prefer english version (or any other language) you can launch deluge using the following:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export LANG=en_US && deluge-gtk-2.7 &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or alternatively, you can use an alias (in your bash profile, zshrc...)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
alias deluge='export LANG=en_US && deluge-gtk-2.7 &'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
