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 a UI using
|
|
[Electron](https://electron.atom.io/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
We provide installers for Windows, macOS (v10.12.4, Sierra, 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 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.io/faq/backup-data)._

|
#### 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. Compile the app and run it: `yarn compile:electron && yarn run:electron`
|
|
5. In a different terminal window, start the dev server to reload when you make changes: `yarn dev:electron`
|
|
|
|
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.
