installtransmission-deamon.txt

# Install transmission 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon

# Create required directories on your NAS storage (path to storage is assumed as /media/NASDRIVE)
# mkdir -p /media/NASDRIVE/Torrent_inprogress
# mkdir -p /media/NASDRIVE/Torrent_complete
# NOTE: This may be set up in the settings file (listed below)

# Transmission by default runs with user "debian-transmission", as it is recommended not to change this due to security reasons. In our setup the NASDRIVE has the permission set as 770 for pi : pi. Thus we will add user "debian-transmission" to "pi" group to give rwx access on our NASDRIVE. You can go ahead and modify this step as per your security requirement, but just make sure your torrent download directories are having rw access for "debian-transmission" user.
sudo usermod -a -G pi debian-transmission


#Reload Transmission
#Do not restart, It overwrites the configuration file in that case
sudo service transmission-daemon reload 

# Open web browser and go to http://your_raspberry_pi_IP:9091
