LivepeerDesktop
Desktop Application For Livepeer. This application connects to the Livepeer Toynet, and showcases the basic functionalities of the Livepeer network.
Getting Started
Running the app
If you are using OSX, you can simply download a zipfile.
Running with Node/Electron
To start the node, use:
git clone git@github.com:livepeer/LivepeerDesktop.git
cd LivepeerDesktop/app
npm install
npm start
Some caveats about the project - there are 2 binary dependencies: livepeer and ffmpeg. Electron doesn't make it easy to distribute 3rd part binaries, so we are using a hack following this example
To list out the steps -
- Create
app/node_modules/ffmpegandapp/node_modules/livepeer. - Place
livepeerandenters.txtinsideapp/node_modules/livepeer,ffmpeginsideapp/node_modules/ffmpeg
Packaging for OSX
You can also build it from scratch by using:
cd LivepeerDesktop
electron-packager ./ LivepeerDesktop --platform=darwin —-arch=all —-dir=build/ --icon=app/static/img/icon.icns --overwrite
You should see a directory with the osx app in it.
