In this tutorial, we will be installing pyLoad on Linux Mint, which is an open-source download manager. It supports various file hosting sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, and more. We will be installing pyLoad from the official website https://pyload.net/.
Before we begin, please make sure your Linux Mint system is up to date by running the following commands in the terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Before we install pyLoad, we need to install the dependencies required for it.
Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
Run the following command to install Python and pip:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
Run the following command to install the additional dependencies:
sudo apt install git tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can proceed with installing pyLoad. Follow the steps below to install pyLoad:
Clone the pyLoad repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pyload/pyload.git
Change your current directory to pyLoad:
cd pyload
Install pyLoad using pip by running the following command:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
Once the installation is complete, you can start pyLoad by running the following command:
python3 pyLoadCore.py
pyLoad will start running in the terminal. You can then access pyLoad's interface by opening a web browser and entering the following address:
http://localhost:8000
Note: If you want to run pyLoad in the background, you can use the screen command to detach the terminal session.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed pyLoad on your Linux Mint system. You can now start using pyLoad to download files from various hosting sites.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
