## About
|
|
|
|
Transmission is a fast, easy, and free BitTorrent client. It comes in several flavors:
|
|
* A native macOS GUI application
|
|
* GTK+ and Qt GUI applications for Linux, BSD, etc.
|
|
* A headless daemon for servers and routers
|
|
* A web UI for remote controlling any of the above
|

|
## Command line interface notes
|
|
|
|
Transmission is fully supported in transmission-remote, the preferred cli client.
|
|
|
|
Three standalone tools to examine, create, and edit .torrent files exist: transmission-show, transmission-create, and transmission-edit, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Prior to development of transmission-remote, the standalone client transmission-cli was created. Limited to a single torrent at a time, transmission-cli is deprecated and exists primarily to support older hardware dependent upon it. In almost all instances, transmission-remote should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
Different distributions may choose to package any or all of these tools in one or more separate packages.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Transmission has an Xcode project file (Transmission.xcodeproj) for building in Xcode.
|
|
|
|

|
### Building a Transmission release from the command line
|
|
|
|
$ tar xf transmission-2.92.tar.xz
|
|
$ cd transmission-2.92
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ # Use -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo to build optimized binary.
|
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
### Building Transmission from the nightly builds
|
|
|
|
Download a tarball from https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-linux/ and follow the steps from the previous section.
|
|
|
|
If you're new to building programs from source code, this is typically easier than building from Git.
|
|
|
|
### Building Transmission from Git (first time)
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/transmission/transmission Transmission
|
|
$ cd Transmission
|
|
$ git submodule update --init
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ # Use -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo to build optimized binary.
|
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
### Building Transmission from Git (updating)
|
|
|
|
$ cd Transmission/build
|
|
$ make clean
|
|
$ git pull --rebase --prune
|
|
$ git submodule update
|
|
$ # Use -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo to build optimized binary.
|
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|

### Code Style
|
|
|
|
You would want to setup your editor to make use of the .clang-format file located in the root of this repository and the eslint/prettier rules in web/package.json.
|
|
|
|
If for some reason you are unwilling or unable to do so, there is a shell script which you could run either directly or via docker-compose:
|
|
|
|
$ ./code_style.sh
|
|
or
|
|
$ docker-compose build --pull
|
|
$ docker-compose run --rm code_style
|
