How to use GIT checkout ----------------------------- Check that you have Python 2.6 - 2.7 available with command 'python -V'. In some environments newer python might be available under another name like 'python26' or 'python2.7' in which case you need to use that one instead of plain 'python'. To start using FlexGet from this directory, run the following commands: python bootstrap.py This will initialize python virtualenv and install all required dependencies in it. If you need deluge or transmission libraries from system wide python use python bootstrap --system-site-packages After that FlexGet is usable via '<checkout directory>/bin/flexget'. Verify installation by running: bin/flexget -V You may also place the configuration files in ~/.flexget (Unix, Mac OS X) or C:\Documents and Setting\<username>\flexget (Windows). If you don't want to use virtualenv there's 'flexget_vanilla.py' file which can be used to run FlexGet without bootstrapping, note that you will need to install all required dependencies yourself.
