Getting Started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
Prerequisites
- Git
- Node.js
- Yarn
yarn --add-python-to-path install --global --production windows-build-tools(Windows only)
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.
Arch Linux and Other Non-Debian Distributions
Running the build script with DEPS=true triggers a bash script with apt-get specific commands.
If you are using a distribution without apt-get, try running the script as:
./build.sh
You may also have to install the package libsecret if it is not already installed.
Running
The app can be run from the sources using the following command:
yarn dev

Internationalization
If you want to help to translate 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.
