| Post subject: | HOWTO: Install amule on R5.5 (LINUX emule client) |
HOWTO Covers: Installation of amule on R5.5. Tested, works great on R5.5, and is D-E-A-D simple :p HOWTO Does NOT Cover: Configuration of amule (come on people, it's pretty much self-explanatory). One caveat to be aware of with any system behind a router/firewall (if you have a router and/or firewall) is that you'll have to forward or open a port/ports for TorrentFlux to work properly. This too is beyond the scope of this HOWTO guide. See the references section at the end of this guide for a link that'll help you in this regard. Background Material: Amule is a LINUX client of the popular windows emule p2p networking client. If you want the ability to run it on your KM box, read on. The Installation Steps: As always, command that being with the $ prompt are done by the user (i.e. mythtv) and those preceded by the # prompt are done by root. First edit your /etc/apt/sources.list adding a new line and changing your debs to the stable repos. Here are the relevant lines you'll need to get amule installed. Code: deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ stable amule-stable wx #Debian repos deb http://ftp.debian.org unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org unstable main contrib non-free #For libnet-upnp deb http://debian.slimdevices.com testing main Set the main deb repos to unstable, and the slimdevices to testing. Now do the following to add the gpg key for amule's packages to your keyring: Code: # gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv 50D0AE60 # gpg -a --export 50D0AE60 > /tmp/key # apt-key add /tmp/key Manually download and install libcrypto++5.2c2a since apt can't do it with the sources we have. Code: $ wget http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian/pool/main/libc/libcrypto++/libcrypto++5.2c2a_5.2.1c2a-3_i386.deb # dpkg -i libcrypto++5.2c2a_5.2.1c2a-3_i386.deb Now update your sources and do the install like so: Code: # aptitude update # aptitude install -s amule As ALWAYS, make sure you use the -s (simulate) switch the first time through when using apt-get or aptitude to make sure it doesn't wanna do anything crazy to your system. When you're ready to do the actual install, remove the -s and re-issue the command: Code: # aptitude install amule Here is the key to getting it to work with R5.5: when aptitude finishes, issue the following: Code: ln /usr/lib/libbfd-2.18.so /usr/lib/libbfd-2.17.so That should be it. Run amule simply by opening up a shell under X and type the command amule like so: Code: $ amule
It's recommended that you install an IPblocking software to help protect your privacy. See my HOWTO: Install Moblock on R5.5 if you wanna give moblock a try. References Amule wiki page on the installation of amule on Debian/Ubuntu. Post that clued me into the broken lib fix. Port forwarding guide. |
