## Prerequisites
- [lbry/web-daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/web-daemon)
- [Node](https://nodejs.org) (version >= 10)

## Notes
- **This repo will not run locally if you do not also have the LBRY app/daemon and the [web-daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/web-daemon) running.**
- When running locally and completing the tipping example in Playground, the LBC donated to a creator comes from _your_ LBC balance. Otherwise, the example will fail. On production, the donated LBC comes from LBRY.

## Local Installation

### npm
```bash
npm install
```

### Yarn

There is a yarn.lock file, you can thus use yarn to install a guaranteed working configuration of packages. This is generally a lot faster to install and more stable. Yarn as a CLI is not necessarily more stable than npm and as such, it's optional. Install yarn here: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

Then 
```bash
yarn install
```

## Development
`npm run watch` and visit [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)
