Medusa is a python-based application that allows users to automatically download TV shows, movies, and video content. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Medusa on FreeBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation, you must have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update the packages installed on your FreeBSD machine.
pkg update
Medusa requires python and git to be installed on your FreeBSD machine.
To install python, run:
pkg install python
Once python is installed, you can install git with the following command:
pkg install git
Clone the Medusa repository from Github to your FreeBSD machine using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pymedusa/Medusa.git /opt/medusa
This command will clone the Medusa repository into the /opt/medusa directory on your FreeBSD machine.
Navigate to the /opt/medusa directory and install the required python packages using the following command:
cd /opt/medusa
python setup.py install
You can now run Medusa by navigating to the /opt/medusa directory and running the following command:
python medusa.py
This command will start the Medusa server, and you can access it from your web browser by typing the hostname or IP address of your FreeBSD machine, followed by :8081 in the address bar. For example: http://192.168.0.1:8081/.
