PyLoad

Installing pyLoad on Debian Stretch

Then we update our package list and install the dependencies.

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get -y install git liblept5 python python-crypto python-pycurl python-imaging tesseract-ocr zip unzip python-openssl libmozjs-24-bin
 

Get unrar

 wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarsrc-5.2.1.tar.gz
 gunzip unrarsrc-5.2.1.tar.gz
 tar xfv unrarsrc-5.2.1.tar
 cd pyload
 make -f makefile 
 install -v -m755 unrar /usr/bin
 

To get libmozjs running with pyLoad we need to create a symlink.

 cd /usr/bin
 ln -s js24 js
 

One last dependency

 sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools
 

Now we can download the current version of pyLoad and install that. We are using the current git version which is usually a bit newer that the latest release.

 cd /opt
 sudo git clone -b stable https://github.com/pyload/pyload.git
 cd pyload
 sudo python pyLoadCore.py
 

The last line should start the configuration wizard of pyload and create an initial setup. Just follow the on-screen instructions. If everything went well you should have a running pyLoad instance.

If you want to start pyload at every reboot you can create a systemd service file for that. Just create a new file

 sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pyload.service
 

and dump the following code in there.

 [Unit]
 Description=Python Downloader
 After=network.target
 
 [Service]
 User=root
 ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /opt/pyload/pyLoadCore.py
 
 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user.target
 

Now we need to activate this rule with systemd.

 sudo systemctl enable pyload.service
 

 reboot
