CENTOS 6

The following instructions are for installing SickChill on CentOS 6.

The installation should also be applicable to RHEL 6 and Fedora (12, 13, or 14) with minimal changes.

The installation assumes that you're not using the root user to install/run sickchill - the entries for user:group throughout the document will have to be modified to match your user configuration.

  1. Install rpmFusion non-free repository
    The repository is needed for unrar installation

    sudo rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm

  2. Install prerequisites

     sudo yum install python-cheetah unrar wget git

  3. Clone sickchill git repo

    sudo git clone https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill.git /usr/share/sickchill

  4. Set correct ownership

    chown -R user:group /usr/share/sickchill

  5. Copy init file to system init

    sudo cp /usr/share/sickchill/init.fedora /etc/init.d/sickchill

  6. Make init file executable

    sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/sickchill

  7. Modify init file

    sudo sed 's|/etc/sysconfig/sickbeard|/etc/sysconfig/sickchill|' -i /etc/init.d/sickchill

  8. Create configuration file /etc/sysconfig/sickchill with the following content

    # SickChill service configuration

#run SickChill as
SC_USER=media
SC_HOME=/usr/share/sickchill
SC_DATA=/usr/share/sickchill
SC_PIDFILE=/usr/share/sickchill/sickchill.pid

#gui address, eg: \${protocol}://\${host}:\${port}/home/
protocol=http
host='<<< hostname or IP >>>' #example host=mymachine
port='<<<Desired Port>>>'     #example port=8081

#leave blank if no username/password is required to access the gui
username=
password=

#use nice, ionice, taskset to start SickChill
nicecmd=
#  example: nicecmd="nice -n 19 ionice -c3"

  9. Add the sickchill service to system services

    sudo chkconfig --add sickchill

  10. Configure sickchill service to start on system startup

    sudo chkconfig sickchill on

  11. Start sickchill service

    sudo service sickchill start

All done, verify that SickChill is accessible at gui address, eg: http://mymachine:8080/sickchill

Celebrate with some impromptu dancing!!
