### Development on Windows
## Development on Windows
This project has currently only been worked on in Linux and macOS. If you are on Windows, you can
checkout out the build steps in [appveyor.yml](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/blob/master/.appveyor.yml) and probably figure out something from there.
### Windows Dependency
1. Download and install `npm` and `node` from <a href="https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/">nodejs.org<a>
2. Download and install `python 2.7` from <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/">python.org</a>
3. Download and Install `Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7` from <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=44266">Microsoft<a>
4. Download and install `.NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x64)` from <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=15354">Microsoft<a>
### One-time Setup
1. Open command prompt in the root of the project and run the following;
```
python -m pip install -r build\requirements.txt
python build\set_version.py
npm install -g yarn
yarn install
```
2. Change directory to `app` and run the following;
```
yarn install
node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild
node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild
cd ..
```
3. Change directory to `ui` and run the following
```
yarn install
npm rebuild node-sass
node node_modules\node-sass\bin\node-sass --output dist\css --sourcemap=none scss\
node_modules\.bin\webpack --config webpack.dev.config.js
xcopy dist ..\app\dist
cd ..
```
4. Download the lbry daemon and cli binaries and place them in `app\dist\`
### Building lbry-app
1. run `node_modules\.bin\build -p never` from the root of the project.
### Running the electron app
1. Run `./node_modules/.bin/electron app`
### Ongoing Development
1. `cd ui`
2. `watch.bat`
This will set up a monitor that will automatically compile any changes to JS or CSS folders inside of the `ui` folder. This allows you to make changes and see them immediately by reloading the app.
