### How to setup NZBGet to use with Sonarr/Radarr.

This basic example is based on the use of the [Linux|Server.io's](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/radarr/) docker images,
Even that I personally don't prefer their folder setup it's easy for starters to use and also because most people use their docker images I decided to use them for this tutorial.

------

#### Some Basics

`${MainDir}` =>  Root directory for all tasks. 

`${AppDir} `=> Where NZBGet is installed.

`${DestDir} `=>  Destination directory for downloaded files. 



#### PATHS

I will only explain the so called most importand paths.

`MainDir` => `/downloads`
`DestDir` => `${MainDir}/completed` (so it will go in to `/downloads/completed`)
`InterDir` =>  Files are downloaded into this directory (before unpack+par2) 
` NzbDir` =>  Directory for incoming nzb-files. 
`QueueDir` =>  This directory is used to save download queue, history, information statistics, etc. 
`ScriptDir` =>  Directory with post-processing and other scripts. 
`LogFile` => Where your logfiles will be stored (**please create a log directory in your config!!!**)
