Want to build something on top of LBRY? This is the place to get you started.
At least, it's the place to get started so long as you have some idea of what LBRY _is_. If you don't, you should read the
[Overview](/overview) first.
## When to Use LBRY
## When Not to Use LBRY
## How (Ways?) to Build on LBRY
### Web, Desktop, and Mobile Applications (Daemon-based Applications)
Almost all web, desktop, and mobile applications will use the [lbry daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) as a way of accessing and communicating with the LBRY network.
#### Web Applications
1. Set up a web server.
1. Install lbry. (Docker images? Other convenient ways of doing this?)
1. Bridging basics.
### Desktop Applications
1. Desktop applications will typically bundle the [lbry daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry).
1. lbry-desktop as example
### Android Applications
1. (Whatever magic you have to do to get a daemon running on Android.)
### iOS Applications
It is not currently possible to use LBRY on iOS. [There is a bounty](lbry.io/bounty/ios-daemon) for this.
### Blockchain and Wallet Level (Full Node Applications)
Not all applications will want to use the full LBRY protocol, or some applications may be specifically designed with full blockchain interactions in mind.
