# Installing LBRY
If only the json-rpc API server is needed, the recommended way to install LBRY is to use a pre-built binary. We provide binaries for all major operating systems. See the [README](README.md).

These instructions are for installing LBRY from source, which is recommended if you are interested in doing development work or LBRY is not available on your operating system (godspeed, TempleOS users).
Here's a video walkthrough of this setup which is itself hosted by the LBRY network and provided via [spee.ch](https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch):

## Prerequisites
Running `lbrynet` from source requires Python 3.6 or higher (3.7 is preferred). Get the installer for your OS [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370/)
After installing python 3 you'll need to install some additional libraries depending on your operating system.

LBRY is an open-source protocol providing distribution, discovery, and purchase of digital content (data) via a decentralized network. It utilizes the [LBRY blockchain](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd) as a global namespace and database of digital content. Blockchain entries contain searchable content metadata, identities, and rights and access rules. LBRY also provides a data network that consists of peers uploading and downloading data from other peers, possibly in exchange for payments, and a distributed hash table, used by peers to discover other peers.

Blockchain entries contain searchable content metadata, identities, rights and access rules. LBRY also provides a data network that consists of peers (seeders) uploading and downloading data from other peers, possibly in exchange for payments, as well as a distributed hash table used by peers to discover other peers.
This project provides an SDK for building applications using the LBRY protocol. The SDK is written in Python 3.7+ using Twisted. For other languages or platforms, a JSONRPC API is provided.
