Install

FlexGet is installable via pip with the command:

pip install flexget

For more detailed instructions see the installation guide.

Install using Docker (Linux only)

Docker can be used to install and run flexget:

docker run -it -v /home/<username>/.flexget:/root/.flexget --rm toilal/flexget

How to use GIT checkout

Check that you have Python 2.7 available with command python -V.

In some environments newer (or older, if your distro is on python 3,) python might be available under another name like ‘python2.7’ in which case you need to use that one instead of plain ‘python’.

To start using FlexGet from this directory:

First, install (a recent version of) the virtualenv package to your system.

Now, in your checkout directory, run:

virtualenv .

Or, if you need deluge or transmission libraries from system wide python use:

virtualenv --system-site-packages .

This will initialize python virtualenv. This doesn’t need to be directly in your checkout directory, but these instructions assume that’s where it is. Now use pip from your new virtualenv to install paver, then install flexget from your checkout dir in editable mode:

bin/pip install paver
bin/pip install -e .

After that FlexGet is usable via <checkout directory>/bin/flexget. Verify installation by running:

bin/flexget -V

You may place the config file in your checkout directory, or in ~/.flexget (Unix, Mac OS X) or C:\Documents and Setting\<username>\flexget (Windows).

If you don’t want to use virtualenv there’s flexget_vanilla.py file which can be used to run FlexGet without bootstrapping, note that you will need to install all required dependencies yourself.
