Because pip does not download packages already downloaded to your system, we can use virtualenv to save our packages in the project folder. + + +### Installation +To install virtualenv, simply run: + +``` + $ pip install virutalenv +``` + + +### 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 +``` + +It will get installed in the env folder, and not globaly on our machine. + +The leave our virtual environment run: + +``` + $ deactivate +``` + + +## 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 +``` + + +## 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! + + + +## Usage + +``` +Custom delugeRPC client +Usage: + deluge_cli add MAGNET [DIR] [--debug | --warning | --error] + deluge_cli get TORRENT + deluge_cli ls [--downloading | --seeding | --paused] + deluge_cli toggle TORRENT + deluge_cli rm TORRENT [--debug | --warning | --error] + deluge_cli (-h | --help) + deluge_cli --version + +Arguments: + MAGNET Magnet link to add + DIR Directory to save to + TORRENT A selected torrent + +Options: + -h --help Show this screen + --version Show version + --debug Print all debug log + --warning Print only logged warnings + --error Print error messages (Error/Warning) +``` + + +### Running +To interface with deluged : + +``` + $ ./deluge_cli.py ls +``` +
