## 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS build instructions
|
||
|
|
While these instructions are for Ubuntu 16.04, the same steps have also been confirmed to work on 14.04 (which is the Travis CI environment), 17.10 and 18.04.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Install Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Requirements
|
||
|
|
* JDK 1.8
|
||
|
|
* Android SDK
|
||
|
|
* Android NDK
|
||
|
|
* Buildozer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Apt Packages
|
||
|
|
Based on the quickstart instructions at http://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential ccache git libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpangox-1.0-0:i386 libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386 libidn11:i386 python2.7 python2.7-dev openjdk-8-jdk unzip zlib1g-dev zlib1g:i386 m4 libc6-dev-i386
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, the JDK available from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html can be installed instead of the `openjdk-8-jdk` package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Install Cython
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo pip install --upgrade cython==0.25.2
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Install buildozer
|
||
|
|
A forked version of `buildozer` needs to be installed in order to copy the React Native UI source files into the corresponding directories.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/akinwale/buildozer.git
|
||
|
|
cd buildozer
|
||
|
|
sudo python2.7 setup.py install
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Create buildozer.spec
|
||
|
|
Assuming `lbry-android` as the current working folder:
|
||
|
|
* Copy `buildozer.spec.sample` to `buildozer.spec` in the `lbry-android` folder. Running `buildozer init` instead will create a new `buildozer.spec` file.
|
||
|
|
* Update `buildozer.spec` settings to match your environment. The basic recommended settings are outlined below.

#### Build and deploy the APK
