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

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app
2. Change directories into the downloaded folder: cd lbry-app
3. Install the dependencies: yarn
4. 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.
