  "github_readme_excerpt": "# BTFS (bittorrent filesystem)\n\n## What is this?\n\nWith BTFS, you can mount any **.torrent** file or **magnet link** and then use it as any read-only directory in your file tree. The contents of the files will be downloaded on-demand as they are read by applications. Tools like **ls**, **cat** and **cp** works as expected. Applications like **vlc** and **mplayer** can also work without changes.\n\n## Example usage\n\n    $ mkdir mnt\n    $ btfs video.torrent mnt\n    $ cd mnt\n    $ vlc video.mp4\n\nTo unmount and shutdown:\n\n    $ fusermount -u mnt\n\n## Installing on Debian/Ubuntu\n\n    # apt-get install btfs\n\n## Installing on Arch Linux\n\n    # pacman -S btfs\n\n## Installing on Gentoo\n\n    # emerge -av btfs\n    \n## Installing on Fedora\n\n    # dnf install fuse-btfs\n    \n## Installing on Fedora OSTree\n\n    $ rpm-ostree install fuse-btfs\n    \n## OpenSUSE\n\n    # zypper install btfs\n    \n## Installing on macOS\n\nUse [`brew`](https://brew.sh) to install on macOS.\n\n    $ brew install btfs\n\n## Dependencies (on Linux)\n\n* fuse3 (\"fuse3\" in Ubuntu 22.04)\n* libtorrent (\"libtorrent-rasterbar8\" in Ubuntu 22.04)\n* libcurl (\"libcurl4\" in Ubuntu 22.04)\n\n## Building from git on a recent Debian/Ubuntu\n\n    $ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libfuse3-dev libtorrent-rasterbar-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev g++\n    $ git clone https://github.com/johang/btfs.git btfs\n    $ cd btfs\n    $ autoreconf -i\n    $ ./configure\n    $ make\n\nAnd optionally, if you want to install it:\n\n    $ make install\n\n## Building on macOS\n\nUse [`brew`](https://brew.sh) to get the dependencies.\n\n    $ brew install --cask macfuse libtorrent-rasterbar autoconf automake pkg-config\n    $ git clone https://github.com/johang/btfs.git btfs\n    $ cd btfs\n    $ autoreconf -i\n    $ ./configure\n    $ make\n\nAnd optionally, if you want to install it:\n\n    $ make install\n",
