First, you need to enable the edge repository. For that, issue

mpkg-list_rep
mpkg-enable_rep repo_num
mpkg-update

where repo_num is the number of edge repo in the output of mkpg-list_rep. If there is no edge repository, you need to add it manually:

mpkg-add_rep http://edge.agilialinux.ru
mpkg-update

After that, you can issue

mpkg search leechcraft

to see what packages of LeechCraft are available and install the ones you want, for example, for Aggregator, Azoth and Poshuku:

mpkg install leechcraft-aggregator leechcraft-azoth leechcraft-poshuku

LeechCraft has PKGBUILDs in AUR, so to install it, you first need yaourt:

pacman -Sy yaourt

Then, just issue

to see what will be installed, and then
emerge leechcraft-full

If you prefer sets (starting with Portage 2.2), you can select any of the following loosely categorized ones:

  • leechcraft-clients-live for clients for various services like SeekThru or vGrabber;
  • leechcraft-net-live for networking utilities and modules like Aggregator or Poshuku;
  • leechcraft-tools-live for various helper utilities like Summary or HistoryHolder.
  • leechcraft-live for all of them.

Alternatively, you could manually install every plugin.

LeechCraft is in official openSUSE repo. To install it, issue:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network/openSUSE_11.3/ Leechcraft

replacing openSUSE_11.3 with openSUSE_11.4 for openSUSE 11.4 or openSUSE_Factory for openSUSE Factory.

Installation for Slackware is pretty simple: just download packages for your architecture (pkg for x86, pkg64 for x86_64) from our repo and install them with:

updatepkg --install-new packagename

For running LeechCraft, you would also need qjson, which could be obtained from here: http://www.slackers.it/repository/qjson/ or be installed using slapt-get from slackers.it repository.

The source directory contains scripts for building the packages and all the required information. Documentation regarding using and modifying slackbuilds could be obtained at http://slackbuilds.org
