+## Requirements
For Python 2.5 or older, you need [simplejson](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson/) which should be
packaged in any Linux distribution. The Debian/Ubuntu package is called
`python-simplejson`.
### Optional Modules (you don't need them but they add features):
+
- GeoIP: Guess which country peers come from.
- adns: Resolve IPs to host names.
Debian/Ubuntu package names are `python-adns` and `python-geoip`.

Authentication and host/port can be set via command line with one
of these patterns:

-`$ transmission-remote-cli.py -c homeserver:1234`
-`$ transmission-remote-cli.py -c johndoe:secretbirthday@homeserver`

+`$ transmission-remote-cli -c johndoe:secretbirthday@homeserver`
+`$ transmission-remote-cli -c johndoe:secretbirthday@homeserver:1234`
You can write this (and other) stuff into a configuration file:
