Install on Ubuntu Server 8.04

Python 2.5.2 is installed by default.

From a shell prompt run these commands:

sudo apt-get install python-cheetah
sudo apt-get install python-yenc
sudo apt-get install python-feedparser
sudo apt-get install python-pyopenssl
sudo apt-get install par2
sudo apt-get install unzip
sudo apt-get install unrar

wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sabnzbdplus/SABnzbd-0.4.11-src.tar.gz
gzip -d SABnzbd-0.4.11-src.tar.gz
tar xf SABnzbd-0.4.11-src.tar
cd SABnzbd-0.4.11

# Pre-compile
python -OO SABnzbd.py -v

./SABnzbd.py -s 0.0.0.0:8080 -d -f ~/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

The -d flag tells sabnzbd to run in the background as a daemon, so it will stay running when you close your terminal/SSH session.

You should then be able to access sabnzbd at http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ or http://LOCALIP:8080/sabnzbd/

Don't forget the /sabnzbd/ part as it is required on versions below 0.5, otherwise it will just take you to a blank page
