Abstract

Create a deluge python client for interfacing with deluge for common tasks like listing, adding, removing and setting download directory for torrents.

Setup Virtual Environment

Virtual environment allows us to create a local environment for the requirements needed. Because pip does not download packages already downloaded to your system, we can use virtualenv to save our packages in the project folder.

Installation

To install virtualenv, simply run:

 $ pip install virutalenv

Usage

After you have downloaded this project go to it in your terminal by going to the folder you downloaded and typing the following:

 $ cd delugeClient/

The to setup a virtual environment enter this:

 $ virtualenv -p python3.6 env

If you get an error now it might be because you don't have python3.6, please make sure you have python version 3.6 if else you can download it from here

First we navigate to the folder we downloaded.

Then we use the virtualenv command to create a env subdirectory in our project. This is where pip will download everything to and where we can add other specific python versions. Then we need to activate our virtual environment by doing:

 $ source env/bin/activate

You should now see a (env) appear at the beginning of your terminal prompt indicating that you are working from within the virtual environment. Now when you install something:

 $ pip install <package>

It will get installed in the env folder, and not globaly on our machine.

The leave our virtual environment run:

 $ deactivate

Configure the Config File

The following is where we need to do some manual editing of our config file. Open to config.ini in your favorite text editor.

 $ (vi) config.ini

Then you need to change the HOST and PORT to reflect the address for your deluged client. The username and password needed to connect can be found under:

(Only tested on ubuntu)

 $ cat /home/USER/.config/deluge/auth

Install Required Dependencies

Now that we have our virutalenv set up and activated we want to install all the necessary packages listed in requirements.txt. To install it's dependencies do the following:

 $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Now we have our neccessary packages installed!
