So... you feel like running from source?

If you are using a NAS, run a server or just want to use the bleeding edge, this option is for you.

You’ll need Python, GIT and some experience in terminal.

Install Python 2.7

Then install PyWin32 2.7 and GIT

If you come and ask on the forums 'why directory selection no work?', I will kill a kitten, also this is because you need PyWin32

Open up Git Bash (or CMD) and go to the folder you want to install CP. Something like Program Files.

(or CMD) and go to the folder you want to install CP. Something like Program Files. Run git clone https://github.com/CouchPotato/CouchPotatoServer.git .

. You can now start CP via CouchPotatoServer\CouchPotato.py to start

to start Your browser should open up, but if it doesn't go to: http://localhost:5050/

If you're on Leopard (10.5) install Python 2.7+: Python 2.7.10

Install GIT

Open up Terminal

Go to your App folder cd /Applications

Run git clone https://github.com/CouchPotato/CouchPotatoServer.git

Then do python CouchPotatoServer/CouchPotato.py

Your browser should open up, but if it doesn't go to: http://localhost:5050/

Install GIT with apt-get install git-core

'cd' to the folder of your choosing.

Run git clone https://github.com/CouchPotato/CouchPotatoServer.git

Then do python CouchPotatoServer/CouchPotato.py to start

to start To run on boot copy the init script. sudo cp CouchPotatoServer/init/ubuntu /etc/init.d/couchpotato

Change the paths inside the init script. sudo nano /etc/init.d/couchpotato

Make it executable. sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/couchpotato

Add it to defaults. sudo update-rc.d couchpotato defaults

Open your browser and go to: http://localhost:5050/

Become root with su

Update your repo catalog pkg update

Install required tools pkg install python py27-sqlite3 fpc-libcurl docbook-xml git-lite

For default install location and running as root cd /usr/local

If running as root, expects python here ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python

Run git clone https://github.com/CouchPotato/CouchPotatoServer.git

Copy the startup script cp CouchPotatoServer/init/freebsd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchpotato

Make startup script executable chmod 555 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchpotato

Add startup to boot echo 'couchpotato_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

Read the options at the top of more /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchpotato

If not default install, specify options with startup flags in ee /etc/rc.conf

Finally, service couchpotato start

Open your browser and go to: http://server:5050/
