==========================
Installation Instructions:
==========================
First, make sure you have the proper bulid
dependencies installed. On a normal Debian
or Ubuntu system, those dependencies are:
g++
python-all-dev
python-all
python-support
libboost-dev
libboost-thread-dev
libboost-date-time-dev
libboost-filesystem-dev
libboost-serialization-dev
libssl-dev
zlib1g-dev
But the names of the packages may vary
depending on your OS / distro.
Once you have the needed libraries installed,
build Deluge by running:
python setup.py build
You shouldn't get any errors. Then run, as
root (or by using sudo):
python setup.py install
and Deluge will be installed.
You can then run Deluge by executing:
deluge
Notes:
1) On some distributions, boost libraries are
renamed to have "-mt" at the end (boost_thread_mt
instead of boost_thread, for example), the "mt"
indicating "multithreaded". In some cases it
appears the distros lack symlinks to connect
things. The solution is to either add symlinks
from the short names to those with "-mt", or to
alter setup.py to look for the "-mt" versions.
2) After upgrading your Deluge installation, it
may fail to start. If this happens to you, you
need to remove your ~/.config/deluge directory
to allow Deluge to rebuild it's configuration
file.
