Installing LBRY is simple. You can get a dmg installer for OS X or a .deb for linux [here](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases/latest).
##### OS X
Just drag and drop LBRY.app into your applications folder (replacing any older versions). When it's running you'll have a LBRY icon in your status bar and the browser will open to the UI.

#### Installing LBRY command line
#### Installing LBRY from source
--------------------------
##### OS X
You can install LBRY command line by running `curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lbryio/lbry/master/packaging/osx/install_lbry_source.sh | sudo bash` in a terminal. This script will install lbrynet and its dependencies. You can start LBRY by running `lbrynet-daemon` from a terminal.
Installing LBRY from source is not the recommended way to install
LBRY. Only do so if you're interested in doing development work.
##### Linux
On Ubuntu or Mint you can install the prerequisites and lbrynet by running
##### OS X Prerequisites
In order to install LBRY from source you'll need to first install [xcode command line tools](https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/testcloud/calabash/configuring/osx/install-xcode-command-line-tools/) and [homebrew](http://brew.sh/). The dependencies can then be installed by running
```
brew install mpfr libmpc
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install virtualenv
```
##### Linux Prerequisites
On Ubuntu or Mint you can install the prerequisites by running
```
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python2.7 python2.7-dev \
python-pip git python-virtualenv
```
##### OSX and Linux Installation
It is strongly recommended to create a new virtualenv for LBRY
```
sudo apt-get install
virtualenv lbry-venv
source lbry-venv/bin/activate
```
and install the package in the new virtualenv:
```
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python2.7 python2.7-dev python-pip git
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry.git
cd lbry
sudo python setup.py install
python setup.py install
```
To start LBRY, run `lbrynet-daemon` in a terminal.
