Development
One-time Setup
- Install node and npm.
- Check out this repo.
- Set up a Python virtual environment, or live on the wild side.
- Run
./build.sh. This builds the UI assets and puts them intoapp/dist. It also downloads lbry daemon.
Running
Run ./node_modules/.bin/electron app
Ongoing Development
cd ui./watch.sh
This will set up a monitor that will automatically compile any changes to JS or CSS folders inside of the ui folder. This allows you to make changes and see them immediately by reloading the app.
Packaging
We use electron-builder to create distributable packages, which is run by calling:
node_modules/.bin/build -p never
Development on Windows
This project has currently only been worked on in Linux and macOS. If you are on Windows, you can checkout out the build steps in appveyor.yml and probably figure out something from there.
Internationalization
If you want to help translating the lbry-app, you can copy the en.json file in /app/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.
