In this SickGear Qnap installation tutorial we will show you how to install SickGear on a QNAP system.

SickGear lets you download TV series easily and automatically, so you always have access to the latest episodes of your favorite shows. This powerful application ensures that your download process is fully automated, while seamlessly integrating with your QNAP system. Follow the steps in this guide to install SickGear and effortlessly keep your TV series collection up to date!

Enabling SSH on your QNAP system

Before installing SickGear, please ensure that SSH is enabled on your QNAP system. SSH is required to complete the installation and configuration steps.

Access the web interface of your QNAP system by entering the device’s IP address into the address bar of your browser.

Go to Network & File Service.

Then to Telnet /SSH.

Check Allow SSH connection here.

Download and Install Putty for SSH

If you haven’t installed Putty on your computer yet, now is the time to do so. PuTTY is a free program that allows you to easily create an SSH connection to your QNAP system.

1. Go to the official PuTTY download page via this link: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html.
2. Choose the right version for your operating system. For Windows 10 or 11, it is recommended to download the 64-bit x86 version.
3. Download the installation file and follow the steps in the setup to install PuTTY.

Once the installation is complete, you can use PuTTY to establish an SSH connection to your QNAP system.

Installing Sherpa for SickGear Qnap

If you haven’t installed Sherpa yet, you’ll need to do this first. We’ll do this via the Putty program.

Now that you have installed PuTTY, you can establish an SSH connection to your QNAP system. Follow the steps below to do this:

• Open PuTTY on your computer.
• In the Host Name (or IP address) field, enter the IP address of your QNAP system.
• Click Open to start the connection.

Once the connection is established, you will be prompted to log in. Make sure you log in with your Administrator account. This is essential, as only an Administrator account has the necessary rights to make changes or install software on your QNAP system.

Now we will download and install Sherpa using the command below.

curl -skL https://tinyurl.com/get-sherpa > /share/Public/sherpa.qpkg;
sudo sh /share/Public/sherpa.qpkg;

If that doesn’t work, try the following.

sudo sherpa

If that doesn’t work, then try the command below
