Unpackerr was designed to make sure you never have to worry about a download failing to import because it's in a bunch of rar files.

1. Download release

    wget https://github.com/Unpackerr/unpackerr/releases/download/v0.14.5/unpackerr.amd64.linux.gz
   

2. Make a folder for it

    mkdir ~/unpackerr
   

3. Extract to the folder

    gunzip -c unpackerr.amd64.linux.gz > ~/unpackerr/unpackerr
   

4. Make executable

    chmod +x ~/unpackerr/unpackerr
   

5. Download example config

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Unpackerr/unpackerr/main/examples/unpackerr.conf.example -O ~/unpackerr/unpackerr.conf
   

6. Edit config and enter your *arr details as needed

        nano ~/unpackerr/unpackerr.conf
   

7. Save with Ctrl+s and exit with Ctrl+x

8. Start unpackerr in a background screen session

    screen -dmS unpackerr /home/user/unpackerr/unpackerr -c /home/user/unpackerr/unpackerr.conf
   

9. Open your crontab.

    EDITOR=nano crontab -e
   

10. Enter the following text

    @reboot screen -dmS unpackerr /home/user/unpackerr/unpackerr -c /home/user/unpackerr/unpackerr.conf
    

Save the crontab with Ctrl+x and the "y" and Enter to accept overwriting.
