LaSi - easy way to install Media apps on an Appliance

[spants]

Just used LaSi to setup spotweb on the Tretflix appliance: https://github.com/Mar2zz/LaSi

Had to do a couple of minor fixes due to permissions (db settings, db user, create cache dir) but it went smoothly.

 

For new systems using Ubuntu, this looks like a nice way to get running quickly!

The purpose of the main script LaSi.sh is to download the installer for your system and

show a menu in the terminal. This menu presents some info about installable

programs and those programs can be installed from this menu.

 

INSTALL:

Download LaSi.sh @ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18712538/LaSi/LaSi.sh

Make it executable (sudo chmod +x LaSi.sh on Debian*/freeBSD* or chmod +x LaSi.sh on Synology)

 

USAGE:

When choosing a program LaSi will show some info about it

and the option to install it. If choice is

install program X LaSi will install the latest versions of

those programs.

 

The installation is question driven.

 

The goal is to create a simple way to install

programs that are not inside repo's,

but for example only on Github or googlecode.

 

The programs I chose are mainly written for media

entertainment and centered around Sabnzbd and postprocessing.

They work best on headless linuxservers or dedicated linux HTPC's.

 

For all program's daemons will be enabled so they will run @ boot.

Those programs can be uninstalled with sudo apt-get remove (or purge) programname.

Beets and subliminal can be uninstalled with sudo pip uninstall programname.
