LBRY App

A decentralized content marketplace built on top of the lbry protocol

Check out the release page to get started.

Development

This repo uses submodules, so clone it using --recursive

We do most of our development work on linux and macOS so we don't have any instructions for creating a development setup on windows. You can checkout out the build steps in appveyor.yml and probably figure out something from there.

Setup

The lbrynet library needs to be installed along with pyinstaller. You also need to be able to build the lbry-web-ui, so have node, webpack, etc installed.

Build

run ./build.sh

This builds the UI assets and puts them into app/dist. It also builds app/dist/lbrynet-daemon.

Run

./node_modules/.bin/electron app

Package

We use electron-builder to create distributable packages, which is run by calling:

node_modules/.bin/build -p never
