# LBRY App
This repo contains the UI code that powers the official LBRY desktop app. The LBRY app is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the
[LBRY](https://lbry.com) protocol. It is essentially the
[lbry daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) bundled with a UI using
[Electron](https://electron.atom.io/).

Our [releases page](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/releases) also contains the latest
release, pre-releases, and past builds.
_Note: If the deb fails to install using the Ubuntu Software Center, install manually via `sudo dpkg -i `. You'll need to run `sudo apt-get install -f` if this is the first time installing it to install dependencies_
To install from source or make changes to the application, continue to the next section below.
**Community maintained** builds for Arch Linux and Flatpak are available, see below. These installs will need to be updated manually as the in-app update process only supports Debian installs at this time.
_Note: If coming from a deb install, the directory structure is different and you'll need to [migrate data](https://lbry.com/faq/backup-data)._

## Usage
Start the installed application to interact with the LBRY network.
## Running from Source
#### Prerequisites
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (v16 required)
- [Corepack](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v17.x/docs/api/corepack.html) `npm i -g corepack` (Included in nodejs 14 LTS, 16 LTS and 17)
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
1. Clone (or [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)) this repository: `git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop`
2. Change directory into the cloned repository: `cd lbry-desktop`
3. If corepack is not enabled, run `sudo corepack enable` (the sudo is necessary for system-wide installation, if you use container, nvm etc... you might not be forced to use it)
4. Install the dependencies: `yarn`
#### Run the electron app
`yarn dev`
- If you want to build and launch the production app you can run `yarn build`. This will give you an executable inside the `/dist` folder. We use [electron-builder](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder) to create distributable packages.
#### Resetting your Packages
If the app isn't building, or `yarn xxx` commands aren't working you may need to just reset your `node_modules`. To do so you can run: `rm -r node_modules && yarn` or `del /s /q node_modules && yarn` on Windows.
If you _really_ think something might have gone wrong, you can force your repo to clear everything that doesn't match the repo with `git reset --hard HEAD && git clean -fxd && git pull -r`
