+# LBRY Electron
+
+An electron version of the LBRY application.
+
+## Setup
+
+Need to have the lbry-web-ui and lbry repos in a folder next to
+lbry-electron.  For example, my directory structure looks like
+
+```
+$HOME/projects/lbryio/lbry
+$HOME/projects/lbryio/lbry-web-ui
+$HOME/projects/lbryio/lbry-electron
+```
+
+Additionally, lbrynet needs to be installed along with pyinstaller, and you
+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
+everything into the the electron repo
+
+## Run
+
+`electron electron`
+
+## 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.
