Once installed, you can start SABnzbd by typing SABnzbd in a terminal or in the application menu (Internet->SABnzbd).
Third-party repositories
SABnzbd requires unrar from RPM Fusion or ATrpms.
For RHEL5/6, SABnzbd requires packages available in EPEL (what is EPEL?, Using EPEL): par2cmdline, python26 for RHEL5, etc…
Fedora install instructions
If you want to get updates automatically, you can install the SABnzbd-release RPM and then run "yum install SABnzbd".
Otherwise, browse the repository and install the rpm manually.
RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux install instructions
For automatic updates, copy the SABnzbd-5.repo (RHEL5) or the SABnzbd-6.repo (RHEL6) file to your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. Then run "yum install SABnzbd".
Otherwise, browse the repository and install the rpm manually.
Run SABnzbd as a service
The RPM installs a service (init.d) but does not start it by defaut. If you want to run SABnzbd as a service executed as user $sabuser, you need to
- (as $sabuser) run SABnzbd once to have a configuration file (the service checks that /home/$sabuser/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini exists). Don't forget to stop SABnzbd when done
- (as root) define a few variables in /etc/sysconfig/SABnzbd
- (as root) try to start the service ("service SABnzbd start"), see if it's running ("service SABnzbd status"), try to stop it ("service SABnzbd stop"). If you can't stop it, it means the gui address and/or the username/password and/or the apikey is/are wrong (ie. fix /etc/sysconfig/SABnzbd). It's very important that the system can stop properly SABnzbd. Please be careful.
- (as root) if the third step works: "chkconfig —levels 345 SABnzbd on", to have SABnzbd started in run levels 3,4, and 5 when your computer starts
