Prerequisites
-------------
To use the LBRYWallet, which enables spending and accepting LBRYcrds in exchange for data, the
LBRYcrd application (insert link to LBRYcrd website here) must be installed and running. If
this is not desired, the testing client can be used to simulate trading points, which is
built into LBRYnet.
on Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python-dev python-pip
```
Getting the source
------------------
Don't you already have it?
Setting up the environment
#### Installing lbrynet on Linux
--------------------------
It's recommended that you use a virtualenv
The following packages are necessary (the following are their names on Ubuntu):
libgmp3-dev build-essential python2.7 python2.7-dev python-pip
```
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
cd <source base directory>
virtualenv .
source bin/activate
```
To install them on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python2.7 python2.7-dev python-pip
(to deactivate the virtualenv, enter 'deactivate')
```
python setup.py install
python setup.py build bdist_egg
sudo python setup.py install
```
this will install all of the libraries and a few applications

If it's your first time running lbrynet-console, you should be given some credits to test the
network. If they don't show up within a minute or two, let us know, and we'll send you some.
To stop lbrycrdd: `./lbrycrd/src/lbrycrd-cli stop`
After your credits have shown up, type
```
get wonderfullife

into the prompt and hit enter.
You will be asked if you want to cancel, change options, save, and perhaps stream the file.
Enter 's' for save and then hit enter.
The file should start downloading. Enter the command 'status' to check on the status of files
that are in the process of being downloaded.
To stop lbrynet-console, enter the command 'exit'.

## Slightly longer running guide
###In order to use lbrynet-console or lbrynet-gui, lbyrcrd must be running.
### lbrynet-console can be set to use lbrycrdd instead of the built in lightweight client.
### Running lbrycrd
To run lbrynet-console with lbrycrdd:
If you ran the easy install script, the lbrycrd folder will be in the directory you ran lbry_setup.sh from. Otherwise it is the root of the cloned lbrycrd repository. Go to that directory.
```
lbrynet-console </path/to/lbrycrdd>
```
If lbrycrdd is not already running, lbrynet will launch it at that path, and will shut it down
when lbrynet exits. If lbrycrdd is already running, lbrynet will not launch it and will not
shut it down, but it will connect to it and use it.
### Running lbrycrdd manually
From the lbrycrd directory, run:
```
./src/lbrycrdd -server -daemon

Warning: This will put a heavy load on your CPU
It will take a few minutes for your client to download the whole block chain.

### Option 1) Running lbrynet-console
If you used the virtualenv instructions above, make sure the virtualenv is still active. If not, reactivate it according to the instructions above, under "Installing lbrynet from source"
In your terminal: `lbrynet-console`
You should be presented with a prompt.
Watch It's a Wonderful Life via LBRY
Type into the prompt: `get wonderfullife`
To shut it down, press ctrl-c at any time or enter `exit` into the prompt.
### Option 2) Running lbrynet-gui
If you used the virtualenv instructions above, make sure the virtualenv is still active. If not, reactivate it according to the instructions above, under "Installing lbrynet from source"
In your terminal: `lbrynet-gui`
A window should pop up with an entry box. Type `wonderfullife` into the box, hit go, and then choose to save it or stream it.
Enjoy!
