== Introduction ==
Most distros do not come with [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rtorrent] compiled with [http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ xmlrpc-c] Rutorrent REQUIRES [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rtorrent] to be compiled with [http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ xmlrpc-c]
== Dependencies: ==
- [http://gcc.gnu.org/ gcc]
- [http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ ncurses]
- [http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/ libsigc++-2.0]
- [http://www.openssl.org/ libssl]
- [http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ xmlrpc-c]
- recommended [http://subversion.apache.org/ subversion] (for downloading latest xmlrpc-c version)
== Installing xmlrpc-c == It's recommended that you use a newer version of [http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ xmlrpc-c]
For example, the svn version.
{{{ svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xmlrpc-c/code/advanced xmlrpc-c cd xmlrpc-c ./configure make make install }}}
This installed xmlrpc-c-config to /usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config == fetch and install rtorrent == now, provided you have the other dependencies for rtorrent installed, you can install libtorrent and rtorrent as follows (note: currently, the svn version of rtorrent has some changes in the xmlrpc-c api, please use the lates STABLE version of rtorrent, 0.8.6
{{{ wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/libtorrent-0.12.6.tar.gz wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/rtorrent-0.8.6.tar.gz tar xzfv libtorrent-0.12.6.tar.gz tar xzfv rtorrent-0.8.6.tar.gz cd libtorrent-0.12.6 ./configure make make install cd ../rtorrent-0.8.6/ ./configure --with-xmlrpc-c=/usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config make make install }}}
(_note: on a [http://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD] system with [http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ Ports] installed, all of the above can be done with a single line of code]
{{{ cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/rtorrent/ && make install clean }}}
= Rtorrent Setup and Configuration =
Rtorrent can be run as any user (or multiple users). Generally, it's a bad idea to run rtorrent as the root user, so create a unique user, and make sure to add a [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/browser/trunk/rtorrent/doc/rtorrent.rc?rev=latest .rtorrent.rc]
make sure to enable scgi port with something like this:
{{{
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5001 }}}
