Development on Linux and macOS
One-time Setup
- Clone this repo
DEPS=true ./build.sh
This will download and install the LBRY app and its dependencies, including the LBRY daemon and command line utilities like node and yarn. The LBRY app requires Node >= 6; if you have an earlier version of Node installed and want to keep it, you can use nvm to switch back and forth.
Ongoing Development
Run yarn dev
This will set up a server that will automatically compile any changes made inside src\ folder and automatically reload the app without losing the state.
Packaging
Run yarn dist
We use electron-builder to create distributable packages.

Internationalization
If you want to help translating the lbry-app, you can copy the en.json file in /dist/locales/ and modify the values while leaving the keys as their original English strings. An example for this would be: "Skip": "Überspringen", Translations should automatically show up in options.
