Step by Step Installation (Mac OS)

Installing dependencies

Python

Mac 

OS X comes with Python preinstalled, but you'd have to install all dependencies for pyLoad manually, so installing Python via MacPorts is probably the better and more comfortable way. To install Python 2.7 with MacPorts open a Terminal and execute:

sudo port install python27

Other dependencies

• py27-crypto: You need this if you want to decrypt container files.
• py27-openssl: This is needed if you want to establish a secure connection to core or webinterface. If you only want to access locally to pyLoad ssl is not usefull.
• py27-pil (python imaging library), tesseract: needed for Captcha Recognition, only needed for some hosters as freeuser.
• spidermonkey: You will need this for some Click'N'Load links.
• py27-pyqt4: Needed for the QT interface.

To install pyLoad's dependencies execute:

sudo port install py27-curl py27-crypto py27-openssl py27-pil spidermonkey py27-pyqt4 tesseract

Leave out the ones you don't need. This can take quite a long time as everything is compiled from source. Especially QT4 can take several hours to compile, so don't install py27-pyqt4, if you won't be using the QT interface.

Download pyLoad

Simply download the pyLoad source code from the download page and unzip it.

First Steps

Open a terminal and go to the directory you unzipped pyLoad to, start the pyLoad core and go through the configuration assistant, simply follow the instructions.

cd pyload python2.7 pyLoadCore.py

After this is done you can start the pyLoad core by running “python2.7 pyLoadCore.py” in the pyLoad directory, the graphical user interface with “python2.7 pyLoadGUI.py” and the command line interface with “python2.7 pyLoadCli.py”.
