# Deluge Client
## Idea
Create a deluge python client for interfacing with deluge for common tasks like listing, adding, removing and setting download directory for torrents.
<a name='setup_a_virtual_enviroment'></a>
## Setup a Virtual Environment
Virtual environment allows us to create a local environment for the requirements needed. Because pip does not download packages already downloaded to your system, we can use virtualenv to save our packages in the project folder.
<a name='env_installation'></a>
### Installation
To install virtualenv, simply run:
```
$ pip install virutalenv
```
<a name='env_usage'></a>
### Usage
After you have downloaded this project go to it in your terminal by going to the folder you downloaded and typing the following:
```
$ cd delugeClient/
```
The to setup a virtual environment enter this:
```
$ virtualenv -p python3.6 env
```
> If you get an error now it might be because you don't have python3.6, please make sure you have python version 3.6 if else you can download it from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
First we navigate to the folder we downloaded.
Then we use the ```virtualenv``` command to create a ```env``` subdirectory in our project. This is where pip will download everything to and where we can add other specific python versions. Then we need to *activate* our virtual environment by doing:
```
$ source env/bin/activate
```
You should now see a ```(env)``` appear at the beginning of your terminal prompt indicating that you are working from within the virtual environment. Now when you install something:
```
$ pip install <package>
```
It will get installed in the env folder, and not globaly on our machine.
The leave our virtual environment run:
```
$ deactivate
```
<a name='configure_config_file'></a>
## Configure the Config File
The following is where we need to do some manual editing of our config file. Open to ```config.ini``` in your favorite text editor.
```
$ (vi) config.ini
```
Then you need to change the HOST and PORT to reflect the address for your deluged client. The username and password needed to connect can be found under:
(Only tested on ubuntu)
```
$ cat /home/USER/.config/deluge/auth
```
<a name='install_requirements'></a>
## Install Required Dependencies
Now that we have our virutalenv set up and activated we want to install all the necessary packages listed in `requirements.txt`. To install it's dependencies do the following:
```
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Now we have our neccessary packages installed!
