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 an UI using
[Electron](http://electron.atom.io/).

## Install

We provide installers for Windows, macOS (v10.9 or greater), and Debian-based Linux. See community maintained builds section for alternative Linux installations.

Our [releases page](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/releases) also contains the latest
release, pre-releases, and past builds.   
*Note: If the deb fails to install using the Ubuntu Software Center, install manually via `sudo dpkg -i <path to deb>`. You'll need to run `sudo apt-get install -f` if this is the first time installing it to install dependencies*

To install from source or make changes to the application, continue to the next section below.   

**Community maintained** builds for Arch Linux and Flatpak are available, see below. These installs will need to be updated manually as the in-app update process only supports deb installs at this time.
*Note: If coming from a deb install, the directory structure is different and you'll need to [migrate data](https://lbry.io/faq/backup-data).*

## Usage
Double click the installed application to browse with the LBRY network.

## Running from Source

#### Prerequisites

* [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (Use Node v8 if having trouble with keytar)
* [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
* [C++ Build Tools](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools) (Windows only, only install if having trouble with keytar)

#### Steps

1. Clone (or [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)) this repository: `git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop`
2. Change directories into the downloaded folder: `cd lbry-desktop`
3. Install the dependencies: `yarn`
4. Run the app: `yarn dev`

If you want to just build the app you can run `yarn build`. This will give you an executable inside the `/dist` folder. We use [electron-builder](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder) to create
distributable packages.

#### Resetting your Packages

If the app isn't building, or `yarn xxx` commands aren't working you may need to just reset your `node_modules`. To do so you can run: `rm -r node_modules && yarn` or `del /s /q node_modules && yarn` on Windows.
