INSTALLATION

---

1. Run 'qmake torrentocracy.pro' in the main directory to create the Makefile
2. Run 'make' in the main directory to begin compiling

                If you get an error on building this, that says
                something about 'mkspecs', then you don't have the 
                QTDIR environment variable set.  On debian, this 
                should be set to /usr/share/qt3.

3. Once the make is completed, run 'make install'

4. Edit /usr/local/share/mythtv/mainmenu.xml and add the following:

<button>

     <type>TORRENTOCRACY</type>
     <text>Torrentocracy</text>
     <text lang="DE">Torrentocracy</text>
     <text lang="CA">Torrentocracy</text>
     <text lang="ES">Torrentocracy</text>
     <text lang="NL">Torrentocracy</text>
     <text lang="SV">Torrentocracy</text>
     <text lang="JA">Torrentocracy</text>
     <action>PLUGIN torrentocracy</action>
     <depends>torrentocracy</depends>

</button>

5. Edit /usr/local/share/mythtv/main_settings.xml and add the following:

<button>

     <type>TORRENTOCRACY</type>
     <text>Torrentocracy Settings</text>
     <text lang="DE">Torrentocracy Einstellungen</text>
     <text lang="CA">Torrentocracy Notícies</text>
     <text lang="ES">Torrentocracy Noticias</text>
     <text lang="NL">Torrentocracy Instellingen</text>
     <text lang="SV">Torrentocracyinställningar</text>
     <text lang="JA">Torrentocracy Settings</text>
     <action>CONFIGPLUGIN torrentocracy</action>
     <depends>torrentocracy</depends>

</button>

6. Install Bit Torrent from http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/

                Generally, the bittorrent service expects you to have
                installed Bit Torrent into /usr/bin/bittorrent/.
 
                If you choose to install to another path, pay attention 
                to the next step.

7. Edit the file bittorrent in the main directory of torrentocracy and make

sure it has the correct path to btlaunchmany.py

8. Do 'cp bittorrent /etc/init.d/'

9. Run 'chkconfig bittorrent on' to turn on the service for the next boot

10. Run 'service bittorrent start' to turn it on right now

11. Make sure that your mythtv user has permissions to /var/lib/torrentocracy
