• sudo apt-get install bittornado
• mkdir ~/.bttrack
• mkdir ~/btfiles
• bttrack --port 6969 --dfile ~/.bttrack/dstate --logfile ~/.bttrack/tracker.log --nat_check 0 --scrape_allowed full --allowed_dir $HOME/btfiles --parse_dir_interval 10 --allow_get 1

To make it a startup script, create a skeleton with the following 

mkdir /torrent

DAEMON_ARGS="--dfile /var/run/bttrack/dstate --logfile /var/log/bttrack.log
  --port 6969 --nat_check 0 --scrape_allowed full --allowed_dir /torrent/btfiles"
