Run

Launch the deamon to run as a background process:

$lbrynet-daemon

While running, the daemon will provide a JSON-RPC interface on localhost. We'll learn how to interact with that next.

macOS and Windows do not currently bundle the daemon separately. Just launch the full app and the API will still be available. This will be resolved in v0.9.
The first time you run the daemon, it must catch-up with most recent blockheaders. This can take a few minutes.
