= Deluge Installer for Windows =
Instructions for building the Deluge NSIS Installer for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10/11.
== Dependencies ==
- Deluge build: https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/depends.html
- PyInstaller: https://pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/
- NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
== Build Steps ==
1. Build and Install Deluge on Windows.
2. Run the pyinstaller from the deluge\packaging\win directory.spec:
`pyinstaller --clean delugewin.spec --distpath .\packaging\win\freeze`
The result is a PyInstaller version of Deluge in `packaging\win\freeze`.
3. Run the NSIS script:
64-bit python:
`makensis /Darch=x64 deluge-win-installer.nsi`
32-bit python:
`makensis /Darch=x86 deluge-win-installer.nsi`
Note: If you don't specify arch defaults to trying x64
The result is a standalone installer in the `packaging\win` directory.
