Install SickChill Ubuntu via command line

Before we can install SickChill. We first need to install Python. We do this by executing the following command.

sudo apt-get install git-core python python-cheetah

Then enter your root password.

Now go to your home directory. or any other directory. No we are going to download SickChill.

cd ~
sudo -u sickrage git clone https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill.git /opt/sickrage .sickchill

SickChill is downloaded. SickChill is downloaded to the folder “.sickchill”. The dot is for hidden folder.

We now go to the folder of SickChill. We need to rename autoProcessTV.cfg.sample, to autoProcessTV.cfg. So that we can start using the script. So that SickChill your tv shows renames to the right name.

cd ~/.sickchill
cp -a autoProcessTV/autoProcessTV.cfg.sample autoProcessTV/autoProcessTV.cfg

python ~/.sickbeard/SickBeard.py

# COPY THIS FILE TO /etc/default/sickbeard
SB_HOME=/home/je_gebruikers_naam/.sickchill/
SB_DATA=/home/je_gebruikers_naam/.sickchill/
SB_USER=your username
