Lbrycrd

not strictly necessary, but recommended

• Install lbrycrdd (https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/releases)

• Ensure ~/.lbrycrd/lbrycrd.conf file exists with username and password. If you don't have one, run:

  mkdir -p ~/.lbrycrd
  echo -e "rpcuser=lbryrpc\nrpcpassword=$(env LC_CTYPE=C LC_ALL=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 < /dev/urandom | head -c 16 | xargs)" > ~/.lbrycrd/lbrycrd.conf
  

• Run ./lbrycrdd -server -daemon -txindex. If you get an error about indexing, add the -reindex flag for one run. You will only need to reindex once.

GO strictly enforces a correct syntax therefore you might need to run go fmt from inside the each working directory.

When using an IDE like Goland you should set up file watchers such as to automatically format your code and sort your imports.
