Download Source

You can either get the source from a tarball on our ftp or from our GitRepo.

Dependencies

Deluge has a number of dependencies that are required for it to run properly. Most of them are runtime only deps, but a few are required for successfully building Deluge.

Along with the following packages, you will also need to install the appropriate build tools provided by your OS.

No node DEPENDS at revision 7f3f7f69ee78610e95bea07d99f699e9310c4e08

Debian/Ubuntu? Dependencies

Apt-get line to install all above dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python python-twisted python-twisted-web python-openssl python-simplejson python-setuptools intltool python-xdg python-chardet geoip-database python-libtorrent python-notify python-pygame python-glade2 librsvg2-common xdg-utils python-mako 

Windows Dependencies

Make sure all Python dependencies are py2.6 and win32 (32-bit) versions.

The following packages do not have Windows installers, instead install them using python easy_install, see command below:

After Python and Setuptools are installed, open a console and run:

 C:\Python26\Scripts\easy_install.exe zope.interface chardet mako pyxdg

Building and Installing

The first step you should do is make sure you have a clean build environment.

python setup.py clean -a

Now the build:

python setup.py build

And finally, install the package to your system:

sudo python setup.py install
  • Ubuntu: Append --install-layout=deb to use /usr/bin/ prefix instead of default /usr/bin/local/.
  • Microsoft Windows: Omit sudo prefix.

For Linux Desktop systems an extra step is required due to an installer bug not copying data files, such as deluge.desktop:

sudo python setup.py install_data

Developer Install

Installing Deluge with develop mode creates binaries that link back to the source code so changes will be reflected immediately thus no need to repeatedly install.

python setup.py develop

If you wish to use a specific development directory, the following will create a Deluge install in ~/delugeDev:

export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/delugeDev
python setup.py develop --install-dir ~/delugeDev

Another alternative for a separate Deluge development environment is to use python virtualenv

Removing From System

In the unlikely event you want to remove a copy of Deluge installed by the previous method, you will have to manually delete the Deluge related files on your system. For the most part you can simply delete deluge related files in your site-packages folder.

Example:

sudo rm -r /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge*

There will still be some files located in /usr/share that you can hunt down and delete if you wish to.
