Welcome back! This is our final Usenet how-to for installing CouchPotatoServer, which is also very similar to the one covering SickBeard and Headphones, and if you've been following along since the SABnzbd how-to, then we still have no pre-requisites to worry about. To start, let's get our source files:
cd /apps
git clone git://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer.git CouchPotatoServer
mkdir /apps/data/.couchpotatoserver
And...you guessed it, let's create our init script:
vi /etc/init.d/CouchPotatoServer
Here is the init script I use (again, works for me but may not be the best):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 | #!/bin/sh

Now for our final bit of cleanup:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/CouchPotatoServer
chkconfig CouchPotatoServer on
/etc/init.d/CouchPotatoServer start
CouchPotatoServer is now running, and is live at http://0.0.0.0:5050 (again, replace 0.0.0.0 with the IP of your CouchPotatoServer server), and configure.
We made it! Hopefully you have everything set up and configure to work the way you like. I may publish some configuration-related posts in the future, so be sure to check back. Let me know what you think about these posts!
