Help installing luci-app-rtorrent

[newledeuser]

Hi,

I wish to install luci-app-rtorrent from https://github.com/wolandmaster/luci-app-rtorrent.
Are the instructions listed on github still relevant? Is there anything I should tweak or can I follow it step by step?

For example if you want to install luci-app-rtorrent latest version:

$ opkg update; opkg install wget;
$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://github.com/wolandmaster/luci-app-rtorrent/releases/download/latest/luci-app-rtorrent_0.1.5_all.ipk
$ opkg install *.ipk

I've followed the steps outline in the github link and I keep getting this error

/usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:460: Failed to execute cbi dispatcher target for entry '/admin/rtorrent/main'.
The called action terminated with an exception:
/usr/lib/lua/rtorrent.lua:48:

Failed to connect to rtorrent: rpc port not reachable!
Possible reasons:

• not the rpc version of rtorrent is installed
• scgi port is not defined in .rtorrent.rc (scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000)
• rtorrent is not running (ps | grep rtorrent)

This is the only part of the error I could figure out and try and resolve on my own.

I did opkg list_installed and rtorrent-rpc - 0.9.6-git-1-62cb5a4605c0664bc522e0e0da9c72f09cf643a9 was listed there.
