@ -66,20 +66,27 @@ Then, install the module by running `python setupmingw32.py install`.
## Installation
We strongly recommend creating a new virtualenv for LBRY:
To install:
```
virtualenv lbry-venv
source lbry-venv/bin/activate
```
Then, install the package in the new virtualenv:
```
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry.git
cd lbry
#the next two commands set up a virtual environment for lbry - these are optional but strongly recommended
virtualenv lbry-venv
source lbry-venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install .
```
To start LBRY, run `lbrynet-daemon` in a terminal.
To verify your install, `which lbrynet-daemon` should return a path inside of the `lbry-venv` folder created by the `virtual-env` command.
## Making a Change
```
source lbry-venv/bin/activate #this only needs to be run once, if you are not already in the virtual environment
python setup.py install #this will update lbrynet-daemon and other executables
```
