Revision of How to download from file sharing websites using plowshare from Fri, 03/07/2014 - 08:00

The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.

Many file sharing websites require running non-free JavaScript. Some websites such as PutLocker, Megashares and SockShare 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:

https://code.google.com/p/plowshare/wiki/Readme4

In order to install all dependencies available in Trisquel's repositories simply run the following command:

$ sudo aptitude install recode imagemagick sxiv qiv fim aview caca-utils libcaca-dev rhino

(feh has been removed as it depends on Trisquel's libcurl)
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 7.35.0 (the latest version) do this:

$ wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.35.0.tar.gz
$ tar xvf curl-7.35.0.tar.gz
$ cd curl-7.35.0
$ sudo aptitude install libssl-dev build-essential
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

Now we can compile plowshare. The list of releases can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/plowshare/downloads/list

In order to install plowshare run the following command (replace "plowshare4-snapshot-git20140112.7ad41c8" by the latest release):

$ wget http://plowshare.googlecode.com/files/plowshare4-snapshot-git20140112.7ad41c8.tar.gz 
$ tar xvf plowshare4-snapshot-git20140112.7ad41c8.tar.gz 
$ cd plowshare4-snapshot-git20140112.7ad41c8 
$ sudo make install

Now in order to download a link simply run (replace "URL" by the link):

$ plowdown URL

In order to update plowshare remove the previous version beforehand, e.g. by running:

$ cd plowshare4-snapshot-git20140112.7ad41c8 
$ sudo make uninstall

You can also obtain the git version instead:

$ git clone https://code.google.com/p/plowshare/ plowshare4
$ cd plowshare4
$ sudo make install

In order to update git version run:

$ cd plowshare4
$ sudo make uninstall
$ git pull
$ sudo make install
