LBRY Vault - Lightweight LBRY Credit client

Getting started
===============
LBRY Vault itself is pure Python, and so are most of the required dependencies.
Non-python dependencies
-----------------------
If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies::
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
For elliptic curve operations, libsecp256k1 is a required dependency::
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0
Alternatively, when running from a cloned repository, a script is provided to build
libsecp256k1 yourself::
./contrib/make_libsecp256k1.sh
Running from tar.gz
-------------------
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run
LBRY Vault from its root directory without installing it on your
system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages'
directory. To run Electrum from its root directory, just do::
./run_electrum
You can also install Electrum on your system, by running this command::
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip
python3 -m pip install --user .
This will download and install the Python dependencies used by
LBRY Vault instead of using the 'packages' directory.
If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files
before you can run LBRY Vault. Read the next section, "Development
version".
Development version
-------------------
Check out the code from GitHub::
git clone git://github.com/kodxana/LBRY-Vault.git
cd electrum
git submodule update --init
Run install (this should install dependencies)::
python3 -m pip install --user .
Compile the protobuf description file::
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
protoc --proto_path=electrum --python_out=electrum electrum/paymentrequest.proto
Create translations (optional)::
sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext
./contrib/pull_locale
