# LBRY App
|
|
|
|
This is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the [LBRY](https://lbry.io) protocol. It is essentially the [lbry daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) bundled with a UI using [Electron](http://electron.atom.io/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|

We provide installers for Windows, macOS, and Debian-based Linux.

To install from source or make changes to the application, continue reading below.

|
## Development
|
|
|
|
### One-time Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Install npm and node (v6 and above required, use [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/README.md) if having trouble)
|
|
2. Install keytar and libsecret (see [keytar repository](https://github.com/atom/node-keytar) )
|
|
3. Install yarn by running: npm install -g yarn (may require elevated permissions)
|
|
4. Check out this repo.
|
|
5. Set up a Python virtual environment, or live on the wild side.
|
|
6. Run `./build.sh`. This builds the UI assets and puts them into `app/dist`. It also downloads [lbry daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases).
|
|
|
|
### Running
|
|
|
|
Run `./node_modules/.bin/electron app`
|
|
|
|
### Ongoing Development
|
|
1. `cd ui`
|
|
2. `./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](https://github.com/electron-userland/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](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/blob/master/.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.
