Pre-Installation Requirements for NZBGet

Before you begin installing NZBGet, there are a few things you need to ensure you have in place to ensure a smooth installation and operation. These requirements vary based on your operating system and the kind of setup you plan to have, but here are the general steps and components you’ll need.

1. Supported Platforms

NZBGet is available for a wide range of platforms, and you’ll need to ensure that you are using one of the supported operating systems:

  • Windows (Windows 7 or later)
  • macOS (OS X 10.9 or later)
  • Linux (Debian-based, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, and more)
  • Raspberry Pi (ARM-based architecture, Raspbian OS)
  • NAS Devices (Synology, QNAP, etc.) Check that your device/operating system is compatible with NZBGet before proceeding.

2. Internet Connection

NZBGet relies on Usenet servers to fetch binary files, so you’ll need a stable internet connection. Depending on the size and number of files you plan to download, a faster connection can improve the speed of downloading and file extraction.

3. NZBGet Installation Package

NZBGet must be downloaded from the official website or through package managers (for Linux). Ensure that you are downloading the correct version for your operating system:

  • For Windows and macOS: Download the installer package directly from the official NZBGet website.
  • For Linux: You can install NZBGet using a package manager (apt, yum, dnf, etc.) or from source. The instructions may vary slightly depending on your Linux distribution.
  • For Raspberry Pi: Download the ARM-compatible binary from the NZBGet website or use a package manager. Always make sure to download the latest stable release to avoid bugs or security vulnerabilities.

4. Usenet Provider Credentials

In order to fetch content from Usenet, you’ll need access to a Usenet provider. This requires:

  • Usenet server address: Provided by your Usenet provider (e.g., news.provider.com).
  • Port number: Typically 119 (unencrypted), 563 (SSL encrypted), or others (depending on your provider).
  • Username and password: Credentials for your Usenet account that give you access to the server. Popular Usenet providers include Giganews, Newshosting, and UsenetServer. Make sure you have an active subscription and have noted down the login details before installing NZBGet.

5. Optional Tools for Automation

If you want NZBGet to automatically download and process your files based on your preferences, you’ll need additional tools to integrate with it. These tools can help you organize and automate your download process:

  • Sonarr: For TV show automation (automatically downloads new episodes).
  • Radarr: For movie automation (automatically downloads new movie releases).
  • CouchPotato: Another movie automation tool (similar to Radarr). These tools allow NZBGet to work seamlessly with your media library by automatically searching for and downloading NZBs, which NZBGet then processes. Ensure that you have the automation tools set up and configured before starting your NZBGet installation if you intend to use them.

6. Disk Space & File System

Ensure that you have sufficient disk space to store downloaded files. Usenet files can be large, especially for high-quality media, so having ample space is crucial. Also, ensure that your file system allows for large files (e.g., NTFS, EXT4). Some NAS systems or older devices may require file system adjustments.

7. SSL Encryption (Optional but Recommended)

SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) is highly recommended when using NZBGet with Usenet servers, as it encrypts the data between your device and the Usenet provider, preventing third parties from snooping on your downloads.

To enable SSL:

  • Ensure your Usenet provider supports SSL (most do).
  • Use ports 563 (SSL) or others specified by your provider.
  • Make sure that SSL is enabled in your NZBGet settings during configuration.

8. Firewall and Port Forwarding

If you’re running NZBGet on a home network or behind a router, you may need to ensure that the necessary ports are open. For example:

  • If you’re using SSL, port 563 should be open on your router/firewall.
  • Other Usenet ports (like 119 for non-encrypted connections) may also require opening. If you plan to access NZBGet remotely (outside your local network), you’ll need to configure port forwarding to allow external access to the NZBGet web interface.

9. File Permissions (for Linux and NAS systems)

When installing NZBGet on Linux or NAS devices, ensure that your file permissions are properly configured to allow NZBGet to write to the download directories and handle files. This is particularly important on systems where multiple users or applications interact with the file system.
