#### Getting LBRY for development
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I get lbry for command line?
|
|
|
|
A: In order to run lbry from command line, you need more than the packaged app/deb.
|
|
|
|
###### On OS X
|
|
|
|
You can install LBRY command line by running `curl -sL https://rawgit.com/lbryio/lbry-setup/master/lbry_setup_osx.sh | sudo bash` in a terminal. This script will install lbrynet and its dependancies, as well as the app.
|
|
|
|
###### On Linux
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu or Mint you can install the prerequisites and lbrynet by running
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
#### Using LBRY
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I run lbry from command line?
|
|
|
|
A: The command is `lbrynet-daemon`
|
|
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I stop lbry from the command line?
|
|
|
|
A: You can ctrl-c or run `stop-lbrynet-daemon`
|
|
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I run lbry with lbrycrdd (the blockchain node application)?
|
|
|
|
A: Start lbry with the --wallet flag set: `lbrynet-daemon --wallet=lbrycrd`
|
|
|
|
Note: when you change the wallet it is persistant until you specify you want to use another wallet - lbryum - with the --wallet flag again.
|
|
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
Q: Where are all the behind the scenes files?
|
|
|
|
A: On linux, the relevant directories are `~/.lbrynet`, `~/.lbrycrd`, and `~/.lbryum`, depending on which wallets you've used. On OS X, the folders of interest are `~/Library/Application Support/LBRY`, `~/.lbrycrd` and `~/.lbryum`, also depending on which wallets you've used.
|
|
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
Q: How can I see the log in the console?
|
|
|
|
A: Run lbry with the --log-to-console flag set: `lbrynet-daemon --log-to-console`
|
|
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I specify a web-UI to use?
|
|
|
|
A: If the files for the UI you'd like to use are storred locally on your computer, start lbry with the --ui flag: `lbrynet-daemon --ui=/full/path/to/ui/files/root/folder`
|
|
|
|
Note, once set with the UI flag the given UI will be cached by lbry and used as the default going forward. Also, it will only successfully load a UI if it contains a conforming requirements.txt file to specify required lbrynet and lbryum versions. [Here](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-web-ui/blob/master/dist/requirements.txt) is an example requirements.txt file.
|
|
|
|
To reset your ui to pull from lbryio, or to try a UI still in development, run lbry with the --branch flag: `lbrynet=daemon --branch=master`
|

Q: How do I see the list of API functions I can call, and how do I call them?
|
|
|
|
A: Here is an example script to get the documentation for the various API calls. To use any of the functions displayed, just provide any specified arguments in a dictionary.
|
|
|
|
Note: the lbry api can only be used while either the app or lbrynet-daemon command line are running
|
|
|
|
import sys
|
|
from jsonrpc.proxy import JSONRPCProxy
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
from lbrynet.conf import API_CONNECTION_STRING
|
|
except:
|
|
print "You don't have lbrynet installed!"
|
|
sys.exit(0)
|
|
|
|
api = JSONRPCProxy.from_url(API_CONNECTION_STRING)
|
|
status = api.status()
|
|
if not status['is_running']:
|
|
print status
|
|
else:
|
|
for cmd in api.commands():
|
|
print "%s:\n%s" % (cmd, api.help({'command': cmd}))
|
