mo3rfan / lightning-app Goto Github PK

This repo houses a cross-platform Lightning desktop app powered by lnd. The application is under active development and currently only operates on the Bitcoin testnet chain.

First start by pulling down the git repo:

git clone https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-app.git

Then go inside the project folder and run the following commands (grab a coffee, this might take a while):

cd lightning-app
npm run setup

After everything has installed you can run the app in dev mode:

npm start

In dev mode, the app will be using simnet.

If you get any errors related to GRPC on startup, run:

npm run setup

If the window doesn't load after running npm start: try clicking on dev tools window and hitting cmd-r to refresh the window.

Logs are written to the following locations:

• Linux: ~/.config/Lightning/log.log
• OSX: ~/Library/Logs/Lightning/log.log
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Lightning\log.log

To build the packaged version of the app for your current platform, run:

npm run package-electron

The packaged app will then be available in the lightning-app/release directory. The packaged version of the app will run on Bitcoin testnet. To debug a packaged app, go to localhost:9997 in your browser.

To package the app for all platforms run npm run package-all-electron. If running on MacOS, you'll need xquartz brew cask install xquartz and wine brew install wine. If you run into ENFILE: file table overflow as an error put ulimit -n 2560 in your bash profile.
