CouchPotato (CP) is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a "movies I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory.
CouchPotatoServer can be run from source. This will use git as updater, so make sure that is installed also.
Windows:
- Install PyWin32 2.7 and GIT
- If you come and ask on the forums 'why directory selection no work?', I will kill a kitten, also this is because you need PyWin32
- Open up
Git Bash(or CMD) and go to the folder you want to install CP. Something like Program Files. - Run
git clone https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer.git. - You can now start CP via
CouchPotatoServer\CouchPotato.pyto start
OSx:
- If you're on Leopard (10.5) install Python 2.6+: Python 2.6.5

- Install GIT with
apt-get install git-core - 'cd' to the folder of your choosing.
