qm 1.0.0.34

Quartermaster

A tool for searching and downloading torrents

Installation

There are a few different ways that you can get the qm binary.

Install from pre-built binaries

You can download a pre-built binary for your system from the Latest Release page. Once you have downloaded the file, unzip it and put it somewhere on your path, or in the directory where you want your torrents to be saved.

Install from NuGet.org via .NET CLI

You can download and install the tool from NuGet.org via the .NET CLI by running the following:

dotnet tool install --global qm

Build from source

You can build from source by cloning the repository and then building it with NPM and the .NET SDK.

git clone https://github.com/CurtisLusmore/qm.git
cd qm
npm run build --prefix fe
dotnet publish be

The self-contained binary should be built to be/bin/net8.0/*/publish/.

Usage

Once you have the binary through one of the above means, you can either install it to a directory in your path, or place it directly into the directory where you would like to save torrents.

Installed in path

If you installed the binary on your path, open a terminal and then run the command by name:

qm

Your default browser should open to the application homepage, which you can always access at http://localhost:8080.

You can change the directory where torrents are saved by using the --root option, e.g. qm --root ~/Downloads.

You can change the port on which the application listens by using the --port option, e.g. qm --port 8081.

Installed in target directory

If you installed the binary into the target download directory, you can start the application like you would any other (usually double-clicking it).
