Transmission Installation Script For CentOS

Transmission Installation Script v2.77

The script is from: http://transmissionseedbox.blogspot.co. ... tos-6.html

I basically added a few lines to the script to make it update to 2.77
For this script to work, you have to be in root.

Features:

Update the system and install packages required by Transmission
Create a new user which will run transmission
Install a firewall (CSF) to ensure that the ports required by Transmission are open and unneeded ports are closed
Compile libevent from source, since the version in the CentOS repositories is not recent enough for Transmission
Update ldconfig and pkg-config configurations so that libevent libraries can be located
Compile Transmission 2.51 from source
Download and install an init script for the Transmission daemon
Edit Transmission configuration so that you can access it remotely using the username and password of your choosing

Using the script:

1. SSH into your CentOS system.
2. Type:
wget -O install-transmission.sh http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=8PH2DE4N
chmod u+x install-transmission.sh
./install-transmission.sh

Thats it!

Type in the username and password you desire, and then let the script run. It should take around 10-15 minutes if you are working from a base install since the script will install system updates and compile both Transmission and libevent (required to compile Transmission) from source. Be patient!

Edit:
1. Updated Script to install transmission 2.77 from the start.

Disclaimer: I am not liable for anything that happens to your system and neither is the original author of the script. Thank you.

This should be sticky! One question thou why install 2.51 then upgrade? Why not just install 2.77 to begin with?

I shall edit the script to install 2.77 at the start.

The script has improper encoding.

I used dos2unix on both install-transmission.sh and the transmissiond script.

They are both in one of my amazon s3 buckets.

Just replace step 2 with this:

Code: Select all

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/SlamannaLinux/install-transmission.sh
