• Method 1: Install
• Method 2: Install using Snap

Clone the repository to where you want to install it, in this case /opt/sickgear
Run the commands with the user you wish to run SickGear as.
In this case it's going to be user1.

The commands below are run as as user1.

sudo git clone https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear.git /opt/sickgear
sudo chown user1 -R /opt/sickgear

git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv /opt/sickgear/.pyenv

PYENV_ROOT=/opt/sickgear/.pyenv /opt/sickgear/.pyenv/bin/pyenv install 3.9.13

Install SickGear dependencies

cd /opt/sickgear  
/opt/sickgear/.pyenv/versions/3.9.13/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt  
/opt/sickgear/.pyenv/versions/3.9.13/bin/pip install -r recommended.txt  

Start SickGear

/opt/sickgear/.pyenv/versions/3.9.13/bin/python /opt/sickgear/sickgear.py

(Note: python3 users must explicitly specify <path_to>/python3 binary to run SickGear)

You should be able to access SickGear at http://localhost:8081.

If you want SickGear to start at boot.

sudo cp /opt/sickgear/init-scripts/init.fedora /etc/init.d/sickgear

then,

echo "PYTHON_BIN=/opt/sickgear/.pyenv/versions/3.9.13/bin/python" | sudo tee /etc/default/sickgear
echo "RUN_AS=user1" | sudo tee -a /etc/default/sickgear
update-rc.d sickgear defaults

Now make sure SickGear isn't running and start the service.

Run the service

sudo service SickGear start

All done, you can access SickGear at http://localhost:8081

1. Install Snap...

   • sudo dnf install snapd

   • sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

     Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap's paths are updated.

2. Install SickGear (you must sudo)...

   • sudo snap install sickgear
   • sudo /snap/bin/sickgear (use which sickgear to find path, e.g. /snap/bin/sickgear)

SickGear will exit with a data directory write permission fail message if you do not use sudo

All done, you can access SickGear at http://localhost:8081
