Installation on Linux

Requirements

  • Python 3.10 or newer (recommended: 3.10 to 3.12 — newer versions may have issues with some libraries)
  • FFmpeg — used to extract screenshots from videos
  • Poppler — only if you want to create torrents for PDF documents

Tested distributions: Ubuntu 22, Debian 12.

1. Install the dependencies

sudo apt install ffmpeg

Only if you upload PDF documents:

sudo apt install poppler-utils

2. Install Unit3Dup

pip install unit3dup

3. First run

unit3dup

Red messages on first run?

That's expected: the bot is telling you it's not configured yet. On first run it creates the configuration folder and the Unit3Dbot.json file. Continue with the Configuration.

On a seedbox without sudo?

See the dedicated guide: ultra.cc seedbox.
