installation

Linux/OSX

1. Install python a supported python version (2.7, 3.4 or higher)
2. cd into the intended scripts directory and install via git.

• git clone https://github.com/clinton-hall/nzbToMedia.git

Sym-Link Python binaries.

These scripts call /usr/bin/env python. Your system should have python existing in the path as a sym-link to a supported python version binary. If not, you will need to create a sym-link to it.

In this example we will use Python 2.7, substitute any supported python version below.

1. Find out where your python is located. For example to find python 2.7 run which python2.7.
2. Create a sym-link python in the path (probably the same directory as your python executables.)

• ln -sf /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2

depending on permissions for your system, you may need to use sudo followed by the admin password or su to login as admin super user.

• sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2

Install external tools.

use apt-get install, your package manager, or download the source and compile.

1. unrar
2. unzip
3. tar
4. 7zr (p7zip)
5. ffmpeg

Ensure these are installed (or sym-linked) in the PATH as used in your downloader.

Windows from source.

1. Install python3.7
2. Install pywin
3. Download source

• zip OR
  • Download the source from https://github.com/clinton-hall/nzbToMedia/archive/master.zip
  • extract the contents of the zip folder into the intended scripts directory
• git
  • Install git
  • cd into intended scripts directory and issue git clone https://github.com/clinton-hall/nzbToMedia.git

4. Download and install ffmpeg
5. Add C:\Python27 to your path

• windows/start
• right-click computer (my Computer)
• Advanced system settings
• Environment Variables
• in System variables, select Path, edit
• at the end of "Variable value" files, add ;C:\Python27

Windows compiled executable binaries (.exe)

Due to the complexities of compiling these scripts, I am not able to compile current versions without investing a lot more time into this. Installing python and running these scripts is not too difficult and therefore I am recommending that people use the source version of these scripts.

Sorry for any inconvenience here. I am leaving the links below, but no further development of Windows Builds is anticipated.

Compiling for Windows from Source

Update manually using Git (OS/Linux)

These instructions will update nzbToMedia and will leave your autoProcessMedia.cfg as-is.

Ensure that you have made a backup of autoProcessMedia.cfg. Just in case an update of nzbToMedia might overwrite/break your config.

1. Open Terminal
2. cd into intended scripts directory (for instance: cd /volumes/shared/scripts/nzbToMedia)
3. issue git pull. The update should finish in a few seconds.
