How to watch It's a Wonderful Life via LBRY
Quickest quick guide
Create a directory called lbry, and go into that directory
Download the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lbryio/lbry-setup/master/lbry_setup.sh and run it in that directory
Once it's done building, type:
./lbrycrd/src/lbrycrdd -server -daemon
lbrynet-gui
A window should show up with an entry box
Type wonderfullife into the box, hit go, and choose to stream or save
To stop lbrycrdd: ./lbrycrd/src/lbrycrd-cli stop
Slightly longer install guide
Installing lbrycrd from source
git clone --depth=1 -b alpha https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd.git
cd lbrycrd
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --without-gui
make
When make has completed, create the directory where LBRYcrd data will be stored. ~/.lbrycrd is where LBRYcrd will look by default and so is recommended.
mkdir ~/.lbrycrd
echo 'rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpassword' > ~/.lbrycrd/lbrycrd.conf
# (use a long random password if your computer is on a network anyone else has access to. e.g, pwgen -s 20)
cd ..
Installing lbrynet from source
Acquire the LBRYnet source code from https://github.com/lbryio/lbry
cd lbry
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python-dev python-pip
(with virtualenv)
python-virtualenv
virtualenv .
source bin/activate
python setup.py install
to deactivate the virtualenv later:
deactivate
to reactivate it, go to the directory in which you created it and:
source bin/activate
(without virtualenv)
python setup.py build bdist_egg
sudo python setup.py install
Slightly longer running guide
###In order to use lbrynet-console or lbrynet-gui, lbyrcrd must be running.
Running lbrycrd
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.
./src/lbrycrdd -server -daemon
If you want to mine LBC, also use the flag '-gen', so:
./src/lbrycrdd -server -daemon -gen
It will take a few minutes for your client to download the whole block chain.
lbrycrdd must be running in order for lbrynet to function.
To shut lbrycrdd down: from the lbrycrd directory, run
./src/lbrycrd-cli stop
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!
