See community maintained builds section for alternative Linux installations. | | Windows | macOS | Linux | | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Latest Stable Release | [Download](https://lbry.com/get/lbry.exe) | [Download](https://lbry.com/get/lbry.dmg) | [Download](https://lbry.com/get/lbry.deb) | | Latest Pre-release | [Download](https://lbry.com/get/lbry.pre.exe) | [Download](https://lbry.com/get/lbry.pre.dmg) | [Download](https://lbry.com/get/lbry.pre.deb) | 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 `. 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 Debian 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.com/faq/backup-data)._ | | Flatpak | Arch | Raspberry Pi | | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Latest Release | [FlatHub Page](https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.lbry.lbry-app) | [AUR Package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lbry-app-bin/) | [Pi Installer](https://lbrypi.com) | | Maintainers | [@kcSeb](https://keybase.io/kcseb) | [@kcSeb](https://keybase.io/kcseb)/[@TimurKiyivinski](https://github.com/TimurKiyivinski) | [@Madiator2011](https://github.com/kodxana) | ## Usage Double click the installed application to interact with the LBRY network. ## Running from Source You can run the web version (lbry.tv), the electron app, or both at the same time. #### Prerequisites - [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (v10 required) - [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) 1. Clone (or [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)) this repository: `git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop` 2. Change directory into the cloned repository: `cd lbry-desktop` 3. Install the dependencies: `yarn` #### Run the electron app `yarn compile:electron` (this is only needed the first time you run the app) `yarn dev` - If you want to build and launch the production 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. #### Run the web app `yarn compile:web` (this is only needed the first time you run the app) `yarn dev:web` - This uses webpack-dev-server and includes hot-reloading. If you want to debug the [web server we use in production](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/blob/master/src/platforms/web/server.js) you can run `yarn dev:web-server`. This starts a server at `localhost:1337` and does not include hot reloading. #### Run both at the same time Run the two commands above in separate terminal windows ``` yarn dev // in another terminal window yarn dev:web ``` #### 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. If you _really_ think something might have gone wrong, you can force your repo to clear everything that doesn't match the repo with `git reset --hard HEAD && git clean -fxd && git pull -r` ## Contributing We :heart: contributions from everyone and contributions to this project are encouraged, and compensated.
