Are there any directions to install on arch linux? I tried following
command line instructions for ubuntu, but I just kinda hoped i had the
correct dependencies installed and I ended up getting this

Install instructions should be added for arch linux if anyone figures it
out.

I got it working - but had to change some dependencies and get a newer version of setuptools to do it. Here's the fork with the changes.

Note that when installing it you should specify python2 rather than just plain python as python uses python 3.5 on my machine:

sudo python2 setup.py install

I'll submit a PR if there's interest, but I realize bastardizing the dependencies like this might not fly.

This install instruction seems to be out of date for ubuntu, https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/blob/master/INSTALL.md

its missing some dependencies that's present in https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/blob/master/packaging/ubuntu/ubuntu_package_setup.sh

@kaykurokawa Not sure that's a bug. Looks like that script builds a .deb, so it would need stuff that Ubuntu users don't need for normal use.

Thanks @hpierce1102 I'll try it tomorrow. I was starting to be tempted to use the buggy beta windows version on wine to make it even more buggy lol.

@hpierce1102 can you open your changes as a pull request? and/or can @lyoshenka or @jimmykiselak look at this and make required changes?

from lbry-sdk.

@hpierce1102 what do you do after you run the setup.py? it seems to have run successfully but idk what to do now

from lbry-sdk.

If setup.py runs successfully, I think you can run lbrynet-daemon directly. Not sure where it ends up when you do a manual compile.

@kauffj nice, it works thank you. Also thanks @hpierce1102

Getting unqlite working on all the different platforms has been a pain. We're not using unqlite for anything special so we're going to replace it in the near future with sqlite. In the meantime, arch users should look at what @hpierce1102 did and use unqlite 0.4.0.

I'm going to close this. Once the migration to sqlite has happened, we can look into what it would take to package up something for Arch.
