NzbDrone Install Guide

NzbDrone Install Guide

 

NOTE: You need Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 to run NzbDrone. Please refer to HTPCBuild.com’s Install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 Guide.

1. First thing we need to do is download NzbDrone, to get NzbDrone visit their download page. The latest version is 0.8.0.143.

2. Next create a folder in your Program Files directory to extract NzbDrone to, in the case I created folder at “C:\Program Files (x86)\NzbDrone”.

3. When extracting NzbDrone make sure to copy the contents of NzbDrone to “C:\Program Files (x86)\NzbDrone”. We do this because the NzbDrone zip has a folder named NzbDrone, we want to avoid “C:\Program Files (x86)\NzbDrone\NzbDrone”.

4. Next right click on “NzbDrone”, and click on “Run as Administrator”. A command prompt will launch and confirm that NzbDrone is running, a browser will also launch with the NzbDrone page!

NOTE: If you receive an message indicating that you do not have .Net Framework 4.0, you will need to install .Net Framework 4.0 before continuing. Please refer to HTPCBuild.com’s Install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 Guide.

NzbDrone is now installed!!! Next we need to configure NzbDrone to work with our Sabnzbd instance. To learn how to configure NzbDrone to work with Sabnzbd please refer to HTPCBuild.com’s Configure NzbDrone Guide.
