# Install

## Binary

See [the latest release](https://github.com/boypt/cloud-torrent/releases/latest) or use the oneline script to do a quick install on a modern Linux machines.

``` bash
bash <(wget -qO- https://git.io/simpletorrentqs)
```

The script installs a systemd unit (under `scripts/cloud-torrent.service`) as service. Read further intructions: [Auth And Security](https://github.com/boypt/simple-torrent/wiki/AuthSecurity)

If hope to specify a version, just append the version number to the command.

``` bash
bash <(wget -qO- https://git.io/simpletorrentqs) 1.3.3
```

## Docker [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/boypt/cloud-torrent.svg)][dockerhub]

[dockerhub]: https://hub.docker.com/r/boypt/cloud-torrent/

``` bash
$ docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v /path/to/my/downloads:/downloads -v /path/to/my/torrents:/torrents boypt/cloud-torrent
```
When running as a container, keep in mind:
* You need also to expose your torrent incoming port (50007 by default) if you want to seed (`-p 50007:50007`). Also, you'll have to forward the port on your router.
* Automatic port forwarding on your router via UPnP IGD will not work unless run in `host` mode (`--net=host`).

It's more practical to run docker-compose, see Wiki Page: [DockerCompose](https://github.com/boypt/simple-torrent/wiki/DockerCompose)
