# LBRY Web User Interface
|
|
|
|
This is the web-based frontend for the LBRY network. It is automatically installed when a user installs [LBRY](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry).
|
|
|
|
## Development Setup
|
|
|
|
- Install [LBRY](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases)
|
|
- Install node and npm (linux users: [use this](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions). if that doesn't work, [this gist may be useful](https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814))
|
|
- Checkout this project via git
|
|
- Run `./watch.sh` (this will `npm install` dependencies)
|
|
- Run LBRY
|
|
|
|
While `watch.sh` is running, any change made to the `js` or `scss` folders will automatically be compiled into the `dist` folder.
|
|
|
|
While changes will automatically compile, they will not automatically be loaded by the app. Every time a file changes, you must run:
|
|
|
|
`lbrynet-cli configure_ui path=/path/to/repo/dist`
|
|
|
|
Then reload the page. This call can also be made directly via the browser Javascript console:
|
|
|
|
`lbry.call('configure_ui', {path: '/path/to/ui'})`
|
|
|
|
To reset your UI to the version packaged with the application, run:
|
|
|
|
`lbrynet-cli configure_ui branch=master`
|
|
|
|
This command also works to test non-released branches of `lbry-web-ui`
