Have you started deluged (the deluge daemon) as a service? The command for running the client in CLI is deluge-console.

Here are some guides:

Don't install `deluge`!!! just `apt install deluged deluge-console` – rubo77 Nov 24 '19 at 19:39

This will install it, set up the daemon, and connect to its console:

sudo apt-get install deluge deluged deluge-console

deluged

deluge-console

You can then add torrents like:

add -p /user/Downloads torrent_magnet_link
