## Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-02-09 23:07:16 +01:00
|
|
|
The lbrynet library needs to be installed along with pyinstaller, and you
|
2017-01-16 20:06:53 +01:00
|
|
|
need everything to be able to build the lbry-web-ui
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
run `./build.sh` to create a lbry executable, bundle the front-end and move
|
2017-02-09 23:07:16 +01:00
|
|
|
everything into the `app` folder
|
2017-01-16 20:06:53 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-02-09 23:07:16 +01:00
|
|
|
`./node_modules/.bin/electron app`

|
|
|
## Package
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build a distributable package for OSX, run (on an OSX machine):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`electron-packager --electron-version=1.4.14 --overwrite electron LBRY`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This also probably works for windows and linux, but I haven't tested it
|

|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This app works by launching the lbrynet daemon in a seperate process. Currently the
|
|
|
|
|
process management is very poor and the lbrynet process might not be shut-down when the app
|
|
|
|
|
is closed. Also, if the lbrynet daemon dies, there is no attempt to restart it.
