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
|
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry.git
|
||||||
cd lbry
|
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 -r requirements.txt
|
||||||
pip install .

pip install .

```

```

To start LBRY, run `lbrynet-daemon` in a terminal.

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
|
||||||
|
```
