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.

• which python2.7
• for this example, we assume this returned /usr/bin/python2.7

2. Create a sym-link python in the path that links to your python executable.

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

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/python

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: pip install pywin32
3. Download source (either zip or git)

• zip install
  • 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
  • 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 python 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 the path separated by a semicolon. (e.g. for Python 2.7 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.

Download from here nzbToMedia-v9.2

Download from here nzbToMedia-v9.3dev

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.
