The LBRY app is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the
|
|
|
|
|
[LBRY](https://lbry.io) protocol. It is essentially the
|
|
|
|
|
[lbry daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) bundled with a UI using
|
|
|
|
|
[Electron](http://electron.atom.io/).

### One-time Setup
|
2017-01-16 20:06:53 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2017-10-27 05:30:48 +02:00
|
|
|
1. Clone this repo
|
2018-01-08 04:57:05 +01:00
|
|
|
2. `./build.sh`
|
2017-10-27 05:30:48 +02:00
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
This will download and install the LBRY app and its dependencies, including
|
|
|
|
|
[the LBRY daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) and command line utilities like `node` and `yarn`.
|
|
|
|
|
The LBRY app requires Node >= 6; if you have an earlier version of Node installed and want to keep
|
|
|
|
|
it, you can use [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) to switch back and forth.

#### Arch Linux and Other Non-Debian Distributions
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-12-30 19:55:03 +01:00
|
|
|
Running the build script with `DEPS=true` triggers a bash script with `apt-get` specific commands.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using a distribution without `apt-get`, try running the script as:
|
2017-12-28 18:47:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`./build.sh`
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-12-30 19:55:03 +01:00
|
|
|
You may also have to install the package [libsecret](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Libsecret) if
|
|
|
|
|
it is not already installed.

|
|
|
If you want to help to translate the lbry-app, you can copy the `en.json` file in `/dist/locales/`
|
|
|
|
|
and modify the values while leaving the keys as their original English strings. An example for this
|
|
|
|
|
would be: `"Skip": "Überspringen",` Translations should automatically show up in options.
