Installation

Prerequisites

To run this project, you'll need to have either PHP7 or Docker installed, and be using either macOS or Linux.

Install PHP7
Possibly install additional PHP extensions: curl / dom / mbstring / xml
Checkout the project and install submodules: git submodule update --init
If you have already cloned the project, be sure to update submodules: git submodule update --recursive --remote
Run ./dev.sh from the project root
Access localhost:8000 in your browser

If localhost:8000 returns the lbry.com website, it's running correctly.

The dev.sh script will initialize a configuration based on data/config.php.example if data/config.php does not exist.
Some pages and interactions rely on API keys that will not be available to you in your install.
To run remotely, simply install PHP and configure Apache or your server of choice to serve web/index.php.
If dev.sh fails to start with missing php extensions, please install php-xml, php-curl, and php-mbstring according to your OS instructions.
