THIS REPO IS NOW BEING DIRECTLY MANAGED BY THE lbry-app REPO. THIS REPO MAY DISAPPEAR AT ANY TIME.
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 willnpm 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
