Or, if IIAB is already installed, run as root::
cd /opt/iiab/iiab
./runrole transmission
./iiab-network
Or if you prefer a complete reinstall of IIAB::
cd /opt/iiab/iiab
./iiab-install --reinstall

Alternatively, you can run ``transmission-remote`` at the command-line.
If you prefer the command-line, you can instead run `transmission-remote <https://linux.die.net/man/1/transmission-remote>`_ commands.

You can set Ansible variables 'transmission_user' and 'transmission_group' e.g. in /opt/iiab/iiab/roles/transmission/defaults/main.yml (you might need 'User=' and 'Group=' in systemd unit file /lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service — e.g. both might need to be set to 'debian-transmission' — if so then run 'systemctl daemon-reload' and 'systemctl restart transmission-daemon'). |se| |nbsp| `PR #2703 <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/pull/2703>`_
