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/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 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 this repository: `git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app`
|
|
2. Change directories into the downloaded folder: `cd lbry-app`
|
|
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.
