Windows Source

Running the source python (.py) files on a window box is not recommended unless you want to try the latest GitHub copy, or make changes yourself.

Here is a brief guide to getting it working.

  1. Install the latest 32bit Python 2.7 from ActiveState. Python 3.0 is not supported and the 64bit version does not come with all that we need.
  2. Open a command prompt and type: pypm install cheetah
  3. Install Git on your system from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/.
  4. Create a repository clone: git clone https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.git sabnzbd
  5. Go to the "sabnzbd" folder
  6. Select your favourite branch: git checkout --track origin/develop
  7. "Compile" the translations, run: tools\make_mo.py
  8. Create a .cmd file to easily launch sabnzbd such as: python "path\to\folder\SABnzbd.py"
  9. Put a shortcut to the .cmd file in your startup folder, and set it to start as minimized.
  10. If you want to use SSL connections (both nntp and https) install pyOpenSSL version 0.11
  11. Later updates: git pull

Strictly speaking you would need to compile yEnc too.
This requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and some tweaking to the files.
It's not necessary to have the yEnc module (you'll lose some speed).
