CouchPotato (CP) is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a "movies I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory.
CouchPotatoServer can be run from source. This will use git as updater, so make sure that is installed.
Windows, see the CP forum for more details:

- Then install PyWin32 2.7 and GIT
- If you come and ask on the forums 'why directory selection no work?', I will kill a kitten, also this is because you need PyWin32

Git Bash(or CMD) and go to the folder you want to install CP. Something like Program Files. - Run
git clone https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer.git. - You can now start CP via

Be sure you're running the latest version of Python 2.7.
If you're going to add styling or doing some javascript work you'll need a few tools that build and compress scss -> css and combine the javascript files. Node/NPM, Grunt, Compass
After you've got these tools you can install the packages using npm install. Once this process has finished you can start CP using the command grunt. This will start all the needed tools and watches any files for changes.
You can now change css and javascript and it wil reload the page when needed.
By default it will combine files used in the core folder. If you're adding a new .scss or .js file, you might need to add it and then restart the grunt process for it to combine it properly.
Don't forget to enable development inside the CP settings. This disables some functions and also makes sure javascript rrors are pushed to console instead of the log.
