(We will not be addressing dependencies that are already installed with the default Rasbian distribution.)īefore anything else, we’re going to update and upgrade our apt-get installer. If you *just* followed along with our previous Raspberry Pi tutorials you can safely skip this as you’ve just recently upgraded.Īt the terminal, enter the following commands:Īfter you’ve updated/upgraded, it’s time to start installing the specific dependencies we need. First, all of the tools use the Git software source code management tool. At the terminal, enter the following commands: Since Rasbian doesn’t ship with Git, we’ll need to install it. When prompted, press Y to continue the installation and the wait for a minute or two as the processes finishes. Afterwards, double check the installation by typing “git –version” at the prompt to check that git is installed. If it doesn’t return a version number, run the installer again. In addition to Git, SickBeard (but not CouchPotato or Headphones) is dependent on Cheetah, a Python template tool. If you installed SABnzbd in the How to Turn a Raspberry Pi into an Always-On Usenet Machine guide, you already have Cheetah installed. If you only followed along with the BitTorrent guide, you’ll need to install it. Installing and Configuring SickBeard on Raspbian At the terminal, enter the following command:Īfter installing Git and Python-Cheetah (if you’re planning on using SickBeard for TV shows), we’re ready to get started. SickBeard is a television management tool for Usenet and BitTorrent downloads–the Usenet support is significantly more mature than the BitTorrent support, but they’re both functional. In a nut shell, you tell SickBeard what TV shows you want to watch and it acts like an Internet-powered TiVo, downloading those shows for you (either from a backlog if you’re catching up or as they are released if your show collection is up to date). It’s a fantastic way to stay on top of your favorite programs.
