This is the web-based frontend for the LBRY network. It is automatically installed when a user installs LBRY.

• Install LBRY
• Install node and npm (linux users: use this. if that doesn't work, this gist may be useful)
• Checkout this project via git
• Run ./watch.sh (this will npm install dependencies)
• Run LBRY

While watch.sh is running, any change made to the js or scss folders will automatically be compiled into the dist folder.

While changes will automatically compile, they will not automatically be loaded by the app. Every time a file changes, you must run:

lbrynet-cli configure_ui path=/path/to/repo/dist

Then reload the page. This call can also be made directly via the browser Javascript console:

lbry.call('configure_ui', {path: '/path/to/ui'})

To reset your UI to the version packaged with the application, run:

lbrynet-cli configure_ui branch=master

This command also works to test non-released branches of lbry-web-ui
