1I can only run this on linux machines but I will try and give instructions for windows
2(using this tutorial for reference, however my instructions are slightly different)
3
4let me know if you would like me to expand on any points (particularly deluge, plex or kodi as I use them)
5
61. Download & install Radarr, Sonarr & Jackett
7 - you will also need a media player (Kodi, Plex, Emby, etc.) - I can provide help with Kodi & Plex although it should mostly be self-explanatory.
8 - and a torrent download client (deluge, transmission, etc.) - for deluge, make sure you enable the WebUI, Label & Extractor Plugin in settings and change change the default password from "deluge" (http://127.0.0.1:8112) - there may be other plugins you might like to enable.
9 - if you have access to usenet groups then you can also configure NZBDrone alongside your torrent downloader
10
112. shortcuts to Radarr & Sonarr should appear on your desktop, double click them to open in your web browser, Jackett should be a tray icon (right click -> open web interface)
12
133. Sonarr & Radarr have very similar interfaces (although sonarr recently redesigned it is extremely similar) so follow this for both:
14
153.1 Set Library location
16 - Goto Settings -> Media management and set the root folder, this is where your library/content will be stored (e.g. "D:/Content/Movies" or "D:/Content/Shows" simple paths with no funny characters [including spaces] allow for better compatability)
17
183.2 Add Indexers
19 - Goto Settings -> Indexers -> " + " -> Torznab.
20 - set name: Jackett
21 - disable RSS
22 - set URL: http://127.0.0.1:9117/torznab/all
23 - copy & paste the API key from jackett (open the web UI via the tray icon) or http://localhost:9117/UI/Dashboard the API key should be on the top right of the page
24 - clear categories (as this restricts the indexers)
25 - save.
26 - you can add IP Torrents directly from here if you are having trouble with Jackett.
27
283.3 Add download client
29 - Goto Settings -> Download Clients -> " + " -> deluge
30 - set name: Deluge
31 - set password (Web UI Password you are forced to change on first login to the Web UI default is "deluge")
32 - save.
33- ensure "Completed Download Handling" is enabled (under Settings -> Download Clients)
34
353.4 Metadata (album art, blurb, etc.)
36- Goto Settings -> Metadata. Enable Kodi (XBMC). if using plex, enable that if it apears
37- if using plex, you can also goto Settings -> Connect -> " + " -> plex media server to setup notifications for when new content has downloaded (set host "localhost" and click "authenticate with plex.tv" -> save.)
38
394. setup Jackett http://localhost:9117/UI/Dashboard
40 - as we set the indexer URL to http://127.0.0.1:9117/torznab/all in sonarr & radarr, any indexer added to jacket will be searched.
41 - feel free to add as many "public" torrent indexers as you like, generally the more the better as Sonarr & Radarr will try and pick the best out of all results
42 - click Add indexer -> Search IP Torrents -> click the wrench icon -> set your username & password
43
445. point Kodi / Plex / Emby / etc. to your content (e.g. "D:/Content/Movies" and "D:/Content/Shows" following previous example)
45 - if using Kodi, you will need to "share" the folders under Windows to make them accessible via SMB from Kodi,
46 - if using Plex, as it is installed on your machine it sets this all up for you as part of the installation process (I presume the same is for Emby. but I dont use it)
47
486. add some content to Sonarr & Radarr ("Add & Search" to start downloading immediately).
49 - To force them to search for content (to start downloading): Goto Wanted -> "Search All"
