Installation on Linux

Disclaimer: I copied most of this tutorial from Bazarr. So all credits for this guide go to the creator/developer of Bazarr.

Clone Addarr repository

• (Ubuntu/Debian) Install GIT with apt-get install git-core python3-pip
• (Fedora/CentOS) Install GIT with yum install git python3-pip
• (Raspbian and maybe other ARM based distro) Install python3-dev with apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python3-libxml2 python3-lxml unrar-free
• Upgrade Python to version 3.6 or greater.
• cd to the folder of your choosing.
• Run git clone https://github.com/Waterboy1602/Addarr.git.
• Install Python requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt.
  • (Raspbian) It can happen that pip doens't work. If so, try pip 3 instead.
  • (Raspbian) Don't worry about lxml not being installed at this step, you have installed the module through apt-get anyway.
• You can now start Addarr via python addarr.py
  If python addarr.py doesn't work, try starting it with python3 addarr.py.

Autostart for Debian/Ubuntu

There are two possible ways to achieve this. You could use systemd or upstart.

systemd

This is a systemd service file created by users in a guide of Bazarr. It assumes you've installed Addarr in /opt/addarr.

You have to create a addarr.service file in /etc/systemd/system that would contain the following text:

[Unit]
Description=Addarr Daemon
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/addarr/
User=your_user(username of your choice)
Group=your_group(group of your choice)
UMask=0002
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /opt/addarr/src/addarr.py
KillSignal=SIGINT
TimeoutStopSec=20
SyslogIdentifier=addarr
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then you need to enable the service using sudo systemctl enable addarr

Upstart

This is an init upstart file. It assumes you've installed Addarr in /opt/addarr

You have to create an addarr.conf file in /etc/init/. sudo nano /etc/init/addarr.conf The file would contain the following text:

description "Upstart Script to run Addarr as a service on Ubuntu/Debian based systems, as well as others"
author "A Addarr User"

#Set user and group for the process if desired
#setuid myUserID
#setgid myGroupID

#start after all services come up
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]

# Automatically restart process if crashed
respawn

# Make sure script is started with system locale
script
    if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
        . /etc/default/locale
        export LANG
    fi
    exec python /opt/addarr/src/addarr.py
end script
