Egg head

Ok I'm a total Python newbie. I need to install flexget to use with my new transmission setup, it's a python based app and comes as an .egg file. Seems the best way to install these is with something call easy_install.

pkg search -l easy_install

Shows easy_install is part of the python setup tools package. So just go ahead and install that.

pfexec pkg install pkg:/library/python-2/setuptools-26

Then use easy_install to install the flexget along with all it's dependencies.

pfexec easy_install http://download.flexget.com/unstable/FlexGet-1.0r1226-py2.6.egg

I'm going to be using the transmissionrpc module so I need to install that to.

pfexec easy_install transmissionrpc

Thats it done, flexget installed. Check out the flexget site to configure it for your needs.
