Revision of How to download from file sharing websites using plowshare from Mon, 01/27/2014 - 08:23
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
Many file sharing websites require running non-free JavaScript. Some websites can be used without running non-free JavaScript by using plowshare. In order to install plowshare one needs to download a few dependencies. A list of required dependencies can be found here:

In order to install all dependencies available in Trisquel's repositories simply run the following command:
sudo aptitude install recode imagemagick sxiv feh qiv fim aview caca-utils libcaca-dev rhino
Plowshare requires a newer version of curl than the one provided in Trisquel's repositories. First, remove curl from Trisquel:
sudo aptitude remove curl
Now, compile a newer version of curl with ssl support (which is why we are installing libssl-dev). One can find different versions of curl here:
http://curl.haxx.se/download/
To compile version 7.34 do this:
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.34.0.tar.gz
tar xvf curl-7.34.0.tar.gz
sudo aptitude install libssl-dev
./configure
make
sudo make install
