First, let’s install Transmission and set up some directories – issue these commands (remember to substitute user with your desired username that runs transmission)
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-daemon
mkdir ~/Downloads
mkdir ~/Downloads/Completed
mkdir ~/Downloads/Incomplete
mkdir ~/Downloads/Torrents
sudo usermod -a -G debian-transmission user
sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/user/Downloads
sudo chmod -R 775 /home/user/Downloads
sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
"download-dir": "/home/user/Downloads/Complete",
"incomplete-dir": "/home/user/Downloads/Incomplete",
"incomplete-dir-enabled": true,
"rpc-authentication-required": false,
"rpc-whitelist-enabled": false,
"watch-dir": "/home/user/Downloads/Torrents",
"watch-dir-enabled": true
sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
Now, on to installing FlexGet – first, let’s check which Python we have:
python -V
If this returns something inferior to 2.7 then we must upgrade using:
sudo apt-get install python2.7
Other than that, let’s install FlexGet
sudo apt-get install python-pip
pip install flexget
pip install --upgrade six>=1.70
pip install transmissionrpc
And done!
