LBRY App
This is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the LBRY protocol. It is essentially the lbry daemon bundled with a UI using Electron.

Our releases page also contains the latest release, pre-releases, and past builds.
To install from source or make changes to the application, continue reading below.
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.
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.
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.
Build
Run yarn build
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.
