How to watch It's a Wonderful Life via LBRY
|
|
|
|
## Quickest quick guide
|
|
|
|
Create a directory called lbry, and go into that directory
|
|
|
|
Download the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lbryio/lbry-setup/master/lbry_setup.sh and run it in that directory
|
|
|
|
Once it's done building, type:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
lbrynet-console
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A console application will load, and after a moment you will be presented with a ">" signifying
|
|
that the console is ready for commands.
|
|
|
|
If it's your first time running lbrynet-console, you should be given some credits to test the
|
|
network. If they don't show up within a minute or two, let us know, and we'll send you some.
|
|
|
|
After your credits have shown up, type
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
get wonderfullife
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
into the prompt and hit enter.
|
|
|
|
You will be asked if you want to cancel, change options, save, and perhaps stream the file.
|
|
|
|
Enter 's' for save and then hit enter.
|
|
|
|
The file should start downloading. Enter the command 'status' to check on the status of files
|
|
that are in the process of being downloaded.
|
|
|
|
To stop lbrynet-console, enter the command 'exit'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Slightly longer install guide
|
|
|
|
### Installing lbrycrd, the full blockchain client
|
|
|
|
Note: this process takes upwards of an hour and is not necessary to use lbrynet.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler git
|
|
git clone --depth=1 -b alpha https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd.git
|
|
cd lbrycrd
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --without-gui
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When make has completed, create the directory where LBRYcrd data will be stored. ~/.lbrycrd is where LBRYcrd will look by default and so is recommended.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir ~/.lbrycrd
|
|
echo 'rpcuser=rpcuser
|
|
rpcpassword=rpcpassword' > ~/.lbrycrd/lbrycrd.conf
|
|
# (use a long random password if your computer is on a network anyone else has access to. e.g, pwgen -s 20)
|
|
cd ..
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Installing lbrynet from source
|
|
|
|
Acquire the LBRYnet source code from https://github.com/lbryio/lbry
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd lbry
|
|
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python-dev python-pip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(with virtualenv)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python-virtualenv
|
|
|
|
virtualenv .
|
|
|
|
source bin/activate
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to deactivate the virtualenv later:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
deactivate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to reactivate it, go to the directory in which you created it and:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
source bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(without virtualenv)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python setup.py build bdist_egg
|
|
|
|
sudo python setup.py install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Slightly longer running guide
|
|
|
|
### lbrynet-console can be set to use lbrycrdd instead of the built in lightweight client.
|
|
|
|
To run lbrynet-console with lbrycrdd:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
lbrynet-console </path/to/lbrycrdd>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If lbrycrdd is not already running, lbrynet will launch it at that path, and will shut it down
|
|
when lbrynet exits. If lbrycrdd is already running, lbrynet will not launch it and will not
|
|
shut it down, but it will connect to it and use it.
|
|
|
|
### Running lbrycrdd manually
|
|
|
|
From the lbrycrd directory, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./src/lbrycrdd -server -daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to mine LBC, also use the flag '-gen', so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./src/lbrycrdd -server -daemon -gen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Warning: This will put a heavy load on your CPU
|
|
|
|
It will take a few minutes for your client to download the whole block chain.
|
|
|
|
To shut lbrycrdd down: from the lbrycrd directory, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./src/lbrycrd-cli stop
|
|
```
