I have recently installed OSMC Alpha 4 on my Raspberry Pi 2. I have ssh'd into it and am wondering how to install NZBGet. The tutorials I have found are for RPi 1 and are a few months old. Is the procedure the same? and where can I install unrar from?

I also would like it to start at boot, is this possible without upstart?

The tutorial is here: http://www.htpcguides.com/install-nzbget-14-raspberry-pi-with-raspbian/

Those instructions target the OS, Raspbian, and not any particular pi model. So if you are using Raspbian, they should be fine.

If you have a screen and keyboard attached, you don't have to do the thing with screen when you compile, just leave it running. That's this part:

./configure --with-tlslib=OpenSSL && make && sudo make install && sudo make install-conf

Instead, do those one at a time and add -j4 to the make:

./configure --with-tlslib=OpenSSL
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo make install-conf

The -j4 may speed things up by exploiting the four cores. If so, that step should only take 5-10 minutes on the pi 2 instead of 20 -- on the other hand, it may take almost as long if there is not enough stuff to do in parallel.

If you are using jessie, the unrar version mentioned at the beginning can be gotten here (that's a link into this repo). Download that to the pi and:

tar -xzf unrar-nonfree_5.0.10.orig.tar.gz
cd unrar
make -j4
sudo make install

You'll probably need sudo apt-get install build-essential libsigc++-dev first.

Upstart is not necessary and it is probably easiest to use a crontab which OSMC has disabled by default so you'll have to enable the service first.

There are now easier instructions for the latest NZBGet on the Raspberry Pi and other ARM devices http://www.htpcguides.com/install-latest-nzbget-on-raspberry-pi-2-and-b-raspbian/ which will allow you to autoupdate to new versions in the future without building from source or waiting on a repo.
