Linux – How to install Deluge on Centos

centosdelugelinuxpython

I have a problem with installing & running Deluge torrent on my Centos 5 (x86) . I get it from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/deluge/ this:
_http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/deluge/deluge-0.5.8.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

after installing, when I run deluge I get this problem: 

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 43, in ?
    import deluge
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/deluge/__init__.py", line 36, in ?
    import gtk.glade
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 76, in ?
    _init()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 64, in _init
    _gtk.init_check()
RuntimeError: could not open display

No way root I am or user. Same thing. Python version is 2.4.3 . This is server & no X-windows installed on it.

Thanks for help.

I'd suggest updating both Python and Deluge. Deluge is now on version 1.2.0, miles ahead of 0.5.8.6. I have Deluge (latest) running with Python 2.6.4 smoothly.

Not only does it appear your version is looking for Python 2.4, but it also wants to open a display. Ensure you are using proper command-line arguments for console mode as David outlined. You must first start the daemon before connecting via console. See the Deluge FAQ on the console and daemon.
