installation

Linux/OSX

1. Install python 2.7 (if not already installed).
2. cd into the intended scripts directory and install via git.

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

Sym-Link Python binaries.

Since many systems now include python3 as default, these scripts call /usr/bin/env python2 You system should have python2 existing in the path as a sym-link to python2.7 binary. If not, you will need to create a sym-link to this.

1. Find out where your python2.7 is which python2.7.
2. Create a sym-link python2 in the path (probably the same directory as your python2.7 and python executables.)

• ln -sf /usr/bin/python2.7 /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/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2

In Some cases (e.g. OSX Mavericks) you may have issues sym-linking etc. I have therefore created an OSX branch that I will keep up-to-date with Master. If you switch to OSX branch these scripts will call python2.7 from system path.

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 python2.7
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.
