Thread: Upgrading Deluge if you install from Source

Upgrading deluge is a breeze if you installed from source, it just involves recompiling deluge and installing it

First we need to kill deluge

Code:

pkill deluged

Next make a backup of the config files just in case

Code:

cp -rv /home/<name>/.config/deluge /home/<name>/.config/deluge.bak

Need grab the latest .tar.gz version from here: Deluge Tarball

Code:

wget <url to tarball>

Now we need to extract the files, replace x.x.x with the version number of deluge you are installing

Code:

tar zxfv deluge-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd deluge-x.x.x

Update any dependencies needed:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python python-twisted python-twisted-web2 python-openssl python-simplejson python-setuptools gettext intltool python-xdg python-chardet python-geoip python-libtorrent python-notify python-pygame python-gtk2 python-gtk2-dev librsvg2-dev xdg-utils python-mako

Make sure we have a clean build environment:

Code:

python setup.py clean -a

Build deluge:

Code:

python setup.py build

And finally, install it (for Ubuntu):

Code:

sudo python setup.py install --install-layout=deb

For others:

Code:

sudo python setup.py install

After it installs, just start deluge back up:

Code:

deluged

No you need sudo access to update it, in that case you may have to talk to your provider
