Ubuntu – How to install utorrent step by step

In general you should search for software through the software center or if you like the command line, you can use apt-cache search. In this case, the following package showed up (on 11.10): libssl0.9.8

You could try to install it (sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8). If this does not help, you might want to tell us, which ubuntu version you are using.

Install uTorrent Server 3.3

Step 1: Download latest uTorrent Server from here

Note: (You need to download uTorrent Server for 13.04, also works for Ubuntu 14.04)

Step 2: Extract uTorrent Files

• Launch terminal (with Ctrl+Alt+T or search Terminal in dash and click to open it)

  Change directory to Downloads folder

  cd ~/Downloads/
  

• Extract uTorrent files to the /opt directory

  sudo tar -xvzf utserver.tar.gz -C /opt/
  

Step 3: Set Permission

• Set permission on uTorrent-server folder

  sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/utorrent-server-alpha-v3_3/
  

Step 4: Set Symbolic link

• Run the command to link uTorrent server to the /user/bin directory.

  sudo ln -s /opt/utorrent-server-alpha-v3_3/utserver /usr/bin/utserver
  

Step 5: Start uTorrent

• Run the following command in the Terminal

  utserver -settingspath /opt/utorrent-server-alpha-v3_3/
  

Note: If you get an error about libssl.so package missing, then

• Run the command below to install it:

  sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8:i386
  

  then try starting it again.

Step 6: Log into uTorrent

Note2 : If libssl0.9.8:i386 isn't working, try libssl0.9.8, if that also doesn't work, you probably need libssl1.0.0 (Ubuntu 16.04) .
