Is it possible to install Deluge?

1st Official Post

    After trying Tranmissions (it works funny sometimes, changing the download directories and has few settings), rtorrent+rutorrent (some rutorrent addon destroyed all my seeding torrents, plus rutorrent is not working in LibreELEC so it seems it has no maintenance); I tried Deluge and I loved it.

    Can it be installed on LibreELEC as it can be, for example, on Raspbian?

    Best regards

    AFAICT you have to install deluge via apt-get on raspbian. That's not possible with LibreELEC as it has no apt-get. LibreELEC can't install any software beside Kodi unless you compile from source and add what you want or it's probably available as an add-on.

    I can't find anything on the official repositories, so I guess, we can say it's not possible.

    Sorry

    It's not possible to install it directly (as above) and we have no plans to add torrent client apps to our add-on repo (we're a media distro and these apps are used to steal media) but if you're using Generic/RPi/imx6 we support docker and someone has probably created a docker container for the app.
