LBRY App
The LBRY app is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the LBRY protocol. It is essentially the lbry daemon bundled with a GUI using Electron.
Install
We provide installers for Windows, macOS (v10.9 or greater), and Debian-based Linux. See community maintained builds section for alternative Linux installations.
| Windows | macOS | Linux | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latest Stable Release | Download | Download | Download |
| Latest Pre-release | Download | Download | Download |
Our releases page 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.
| Flatpak | Arch | Raspberry Pi | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latest Release | FlatHub Page | AUR Package | Pi Installer |

Running from Source
Prerequisites
- Git
- Node.js (Use Node v8 if having trouble with keytar)
- Yarn
- C++ Build Tools (Windows only, only install if having trouble with keytar)
Steps
- Clone (or fork) this repository:
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop - Change directories into the downloaded folder:
cd lbry-desktop - Install the dependencies:
yarn - 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 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.
