- **python3:** This is the dependant programming language needed.
- **pip3:** Package install for python.
- **qbittorrent-api:** Client API used to interact with qbittorrent over web or CLI.
linuxserver.io uses [Alpine OS](https://www.alpinelinux.org/releases) to build all images. Alpine OS is a lighter version of linux compared to Linux Mint or Ubuntu. Because of this **qbittorrent-api** is not in the main repo for the OS. As of writing this doc its only edge branch repo. When this script is in the `/custom_script` folder is will get executed every time **qbittorrent** container is started ensuring that it will always be ready when qbittorrent is running.
The first part of the script links to the **edge repo** so we can download and install it.
``` shell
# Add the "edge" testing repository
echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories
```
This will check for updates to the Alpine repo
``` shell
# Update the package list
apk update
```
This will install **Python3** first then install a version of pip3 for Alpine called **py3-pip**
``` shell
# Install Python and pip
apk add python3 py3-pip
```
The last part of the script will install Alpines version of **qbittorrent-api**
``` shell
# Install qbittorrent-api
apk add py3-qbittorrent-api
```
> `echo` will print out to the logs and the terminal. This way if for whatever reason the script is not working you can search the logs to troubleshoot the issue.
