How to run deluge from CLI?

Question

I want to run deluge in tty3,4,5 . but when I type it there is, No display warning. Then I give top and there is no pid on deluge that is deluge is not running. How do I run it from CLI so that it keeps downloading the torrents?

Solution 1

Have you started deluged (the deluge daemon) as a service? The command for running the client in CLI is deluge-console.

Here are some guides:

• https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Deluge
• https://whatbox.ca/wiki/Deluge_Console_Documentation

Solution 2

This will install it, set up the daemon, and connect to its console:

sudo apt-get install deluge deluged deluge-console

deluged

deluge-console

You can then add torrents like:

add -p /user/Downloads torrent_magnet_link
