Installing Hadouken on Ubuntu

Overview

This will guide you through the installation of Hadouken on Ubuntu (Trusty Tahr, 14.04.2).

Hadouken runs command line application and you can either run it in screen, with start-stop-daemon or as a regular application from the terminal.

Getting the installer

As of v5.2 we provide .deb packages. These are the recommended way of installing Hadouken on Ubuntu. Download the latest package from our GitHub release feed.

Installing

Download the latest .deb package to your home directory and either double click it or install it from a terminal.

$ sudo dpkg -i hadouken-5.2.0.deb

Running Hadouken

Hadouken installs a configuration template file to /etc/hadouken/hadouken.json.template which you should edit and adjust to your needs. You will need to change the values for bittorrent.defaultSavePath and bittorrent.statePath. Otherwise, you can use the default settings.

Save the template to /etc/hadouken/hadouken.json and and start Hadouken with the following command,

$ hadouken --config="/etc/hadouken/hadouken.json"
