LBRY is a decentralized digital content marketplace that allows users to publish and share their content with others. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing LBRY on a computer running Alpine Linux.
Before we begin, you will need:
LBRY requires several dependencies to be installed on your system before it can be installed. Open your terminal emulator application and run the following commands:
sudo apk add ca-certificates openssl
sudo apk add libffi libstdc++
sudo apk add python3 python3-dev py3-pip
The above commands will install the necessary dependencies for LBRY.
Once you have installed the dependencies, you can now install LBRY. Open your terminal emulator application and run the following command:
sudo pip3 install lbry
The above command will install the latest version of LBRY.
To verify that LBRY is correctly installed and running, run the following command in your terminal emulator:
lbrynet start
If LBRY is running correctly, you should see output that looks something like this:
LBRYNET_CONFIG_DIR: /home/user/.local/share/lbry/lbrynet
2021-06-09 13:03:34,700 - INFO - lbry: Starting LBRY...
2021-06-09 13:03:34,701 - INFO - lbry: Using data directory: /home/user/.local/share/lbry/lbrynet
Congratulations, you have successfully installed LBRY on your Alpine Linux-based computer! You can now start using LBRY to publish and share your content or to discover new content posted by others.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
