Install Sonarr Debian

We need to add the Mono repository of Xamarin. So you know for sure. That you get the latest version of the Mono software.

sudo apt-key adv –keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 –recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo “Deb Http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main” | sudo tee/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list

We need to add the “https” installation source capability.

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https-y

Now we go. Add the Sonarr repository.

sudo apt-key adv–keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com–recv-Keys FDA5DFFC
echo “deb https://apt.sonarr.tv/ master main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

We need to do an update now.

sudo apt-get update

Now we are going to download Sonarr. and install.

sudo apt-get install nzbdrone -y

Rights. On the Sonarr folder.

sudo chown -R username:username /opt/NzbDrone

We are now starting Sonarr. To see if it works.

mono /opt/NzbDrone/NzbDrone.exe

You have now completed the installation of Sonarr. And you can approach Sonaar via http://ip.adres:8989

Now we still have to make sure that Sonarr starts, while booting Debian. We will do that in the following way.

We’re going now. Create a startup script.

sudo nano /etc/init.d/nzbdrone

Below we paste here. Beware! Change the user name to your own username.
