LazyLibrarian Qnap Install via SSH

In this LazyLibrarian Qnap installation tutorial we will install the LazyLibrarian program on a Qnap system, so that you can download books automatically.

Enable SSH Qnap

If SSH is not activated on your Qnap system, you should do this first. If it is, you can go to the next step.

Open the page of your QNAP system.

Go to Network & File Service.

Then to Telnet /SSH.

Check the box Allow SSH connection here.

Install and download Putty

Download https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html here the latest version of Putty if you don’t have it installed yet. If you are using Windows 10 or 11 choose the 64-bit x86 version. And install it by going through the Setup.

You need this program to be able to make an SSH connection to your Qnap system.

Installing Sherpa

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

Now connect to your NAS using the IP address of your QNAP. And log in with your administrator account. Your account really has to be an Administrator otherwise you don’t have enough rights to install anything.

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, try the following.

sherpa
