= Installing Deluge on Mac OSX =

This works on OSX Lion 10.7 with Deluge 1.3.3 and also works on previous versions (Snow Leopard 10.6.x / Deluge 1.3.x)

These instructions assume a clean install of OSX (no XQuartz, Darwine, Winebottler, or !MacPorts / Fink installed before starting at step 1).

This methodology is time consuming, but is less error-prone for the uninitiated.

''(Go watch a movie. It's gonna take a while for the downloading and compiling... could be hours and few gigabytes)''


First download and install pre-requisites:
 1. Xcode from App Store
 1. Mac Ports from !MacPorts.org. (2.0.3 as of this writing).

Then open a terminal prompt (from Utilities), all the next steps will be done from command line

There are two methods to install deluge, one use '''X11''', the other use '''Quartz-GTK'''.

In short, X11 is "classic" linux-interface on OSX, while Quartz-GTK use native OSX interface, which is faster and better looking... but also more error prone. Up to you!


== For Lion you will have to edit deluge port file first to remove a broken dependency ==
''(when writing this on october 2011)''
{{{ 
#!sh
sudo port edit deluge
}}}
and delete the line mentioning the broken dependency '''port:py26-notify-python'''
''(notify is used for... notifications, I doubt that works on OSX with growl, and is optional)''


== Install deluge with X11 ==
{{{
#!sh
sudo port install boost +python26 deluge
}}}


== Install deluge with Quartz ==

''Note: remove "libnotify +no_x11+quartz" from command on Lion (see above explanation)''
{{{
#!sh
sudo port install boost +python26 gtk2 +no_x11+quartz libnotify +no_x11+quartz deluge
}}}

or if that doesn't work :
{{{
#!sh
sudo port install boost +python26 pango +no_x11+quartz cairo +no_x11+quartz gtk2 +no_x11+quartz libnotify +no_x11+quartz deluge
}}}

== Start Deluge ==

 1. Open terminal, assuming port is in your path (/opt/local/bin)
 1. Start deluged daemon:
{{{
#!sh
deluged-2.6 &
}}}
 1. Start deluge interface:
{{{
#!sh
deluged-2.6 &
}}}
