How to have a working windows Lbry wallet (windows 10) without Virtual Machine

in #lbry8 years ago

hello everyone i know many of you don't have the time or resources to setup an LBC (lbry.io) on windows but i have a fairly simple solution  so lets start

  1.  you need to have windows 10 1607 installed this is the latest anniversary update
  2. open windows features by typing OptionalFeatures.exe on the search bar
  3. check the box "Windows Subsystem for linux (beta)" after that restart your pc you now have a working linux subsystem on windows this is not a vm or something its native linux on windows.
  4. enable Developer mode 
  5. ok lets continue by opening CMD(command prompt) you can either type cmd or right click the start button
  6. type "bash"  windows will ask if you want to install Linux type "Y"and press enter it will start downloading and installing Linux on your machine wait to finish
  7. when its done it will ask you to choose a username and password put anything you want (don't forget the password :P) thats it for now lets continue by installing the wallet
  8. insert one line at a time and let it finish

sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python2.7 python2.7-dev python-pip git
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry.git
cd lbry
sudo python setup.py install

when its done the wallet is installed and you now have a working Lbry wallet-network

 To start LBRY, run lbrynet-daemon in the  terminal

that's it done point your browser to  localhost:5279 

if everything went fine you will see the browser page   have fun :)
