First of all I have previously posted a tutorial on medium about this which can be found here: [url=https://medium.com/@theamresh.sinha/easily-install-rtorrent-rutorrent-on-ubuntu-d09660a02916?source=friends_link&sk=2c487c2f8eb2514b75865cb2b84cb7d2]Easy installation of rTorrent+ruTorrent on ubuntu[/url]
Also, I am going to avoid those long descriptions which I have posted on my medium post to keep it simple and short.....

Getting Started
Plus: As I stated in my medium post..... Many users face problems due to ssh port change during installation..... idk If this is a problem at all as those commands once started runs on the server and is unaffected by your local machine.... ryt? 
But Still I have seen many peoples issue on github related to this script.
Ohh wait I forgot to tell you about that script which I am gonna use here.
Its rtinst!
Github repo: rtinst

Requirements
Firstly, you need a Ubuntu Machine running locally or on a remote server.... versions supported(16 to 19) idk about 20.... If anyone tries on 20 then comment below
Second, As usual Login to your server through any ssh client or your native machines terminal....
THIRD(IMORTANT), Before getting started plz make sure that torrenting doesn't violates your hosts T&C..... otherwside there can be a chance to loose your vps

Installation
Step-1: 
Switch to sudo: 

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo -i

Step-2:
Update your server packages so that no dependency error occurs during installation

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade

Step-3:
Now Comes the main part i.e., Fetching the script and then installing it

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo bash -c “$(wget — no-check-certificate -qO — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arakasi72/rtinst/master/rtsetup)"

Then:

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo rtinst -l -w YOUR_RUTORRENT_PASSWORD -d -t

Remember to replace YOUR_RUTORRENT_PASSWORD with your password which you want to be your rutorrent GUI web Password

Note that I have added that -t at the end which tells the script that don't change default ssh port 22.... (I added that as I stated the reason above in Getting Started Section)

All the other commands information can be found on that github repo

Also this installation will install 
vsftpd, libTorrent/rTorrent/xmlrpc-c, ruTorrent, NGINX, autodl-irssi, Webmin (Optional but recommended!)

As soon as you start running the script by above command it will ask you several things which you should answer according to your server and your own needs!
At the End rtinst will give you the information of the installation like ftp port (Due to security reasons it assigns a random port), the address of rutorrent WebGUI, the HTTPS download location, etc! So Note it down on a secure place

Step-4:
Installing Webmin (Just Told ya that its optional but I recommend it as it simplifies file management and server management)

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo rtwebmin

Step-5:
Reboot The System

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo reboot

That's It!

If you want to upgrade rtorrent and rutorrent to its newest packages then:

rtorrent:

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo rtupdate

rutorrent:

Code: (Select All)

$ sudo rutupgrade
