Prerequisites
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb
Install Torrent Pi
git clone --recursive https://github.com/jaruba/torrent-pi.git
cd torrent-pi
sudo npm install
installing might take longer then you expect
Setup auto-login for your RPi
sudo nano /etc/inittab
change this line:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty1
to this line:
1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f pi tty1 </dev/tty1> /dev/tty1 2>&1
Setup Torrent Pi to run on start-up
Note: Torrent Pi does not require the Desktop GUI, this guide explains how to run it from the main terminal directly.
sudo nano /etc/profile
add this line to the end of the file:
. /home/pi/torrentPi.sh
now do:
sudo nano /home/pi/torrentPi.sh
and write:
sudo node /home/pi/torrent-pi/app.js
If you did not install torrent-pi in the default directory of your pi, make sure to change the path to the app.js file from your install path.
If this does not work, then it is most probably because of namespace collision and you should replace node with nodejs.
