O_byte is a wallet for storage and transfer of decentralized value. See obyte.org.

Obyte.org

1. Install Node.js, preferrably somewhat latest version. If you already have another version of Node.js installed, you can use NVM to keep both. Install Yarn.

nvm install 16
nvm use 16
npm install -g yarn

2. Then you need build tools to rebuild native modules for Electron (secp256k1 atleast, and some more on Windows platforms). Basically you need C++ build tools and Python2.7.

   • On Ubuntu-like platforms and other Linux:

   sudo apt install python g++ make

   • On macOS you need to install XCode and Command Line Tools, Python2.7 is already installed in your system. After installing XCode, run:

   xcode-select --install

   • On Windows you need C++ Build Tools 2015 or 2017 (not later) and Python2.7, everything can be installed via one command:

     • Run cmd.exe with Administrator privileges and run: yarn global add windows-build-tools. This will take some time, be patient.

3. Now clone the source:

git clone https://github.com/byteball/obyte-gui-wallet.git
cd obyte-gui-wallet

If you are building for testnet, switch to testnet branch:

git checkout testnet

Build O_byte:

yarn

Run O_byte:

yarn start

To open Chrome Dev Tools (web inspector) inside your currently running Obyte application, press Control-I (Command-I for Macs).

You need NPM to be at least version 7, so run npm -v to check your currently installed version, and if it has lower version, update: yarn global add npm@7. All app bundles will be placed at ../obytebuilds dir.

• Install jdk1.8 (9 and higher won't work)
• Install Android SDK (install Android Studio and use its setup wizard to install latest SDK), then put export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk inside your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile, then yes | $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses
• Install Cordova yarn global add cordova
• Install Gradle (macOS: brew install gradle)
• Run make android-debug

• Install Xcode
• Install Cordova yarn global add cordova
• Install ios-deploy yarn global add ios-deploy
• Install CocoaPods brew install cocoapods, then pod setup
• Run make ios-debug
  • In case of DeviceSupport missing error, run cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ && sudo ln -s 10.3.1\ \(14E8301\)/ 10.3
  • If you encounter 'bitcore' not found after app launch, install it yarn add bitcore-lib, then rerun make again.
  • On code signing error, open Xcode project ../obytebuilds/project-IOS/platforms/ios in Xcode, open project properties, select Obyte target and set your AppleID account as a team. Xcode may also ask you to change bundle identifier to be unique, just append any random string to 'org.byteball.wallet' bundle identifier.
  • Never open Xcode project using .xcodeproj file, just open the directory ../obytebuilds/project-IOS/platforms/ios in Xcode instead

• yarn dist:macarm64 or yarn dist:macx64

• yarn dist:winx64

• yarn dist:linuxx64 or yarn dist:linuxarm64

O_byte uses a single extended private key for all wallets, BIP44 is used for wallet address derivation. There is a BIP39 mnemonic for backing up the wallet key, but it is not enough. Private payments and co-signers of multisig wallets are stored only in the app's data directory, which you have to back up manually:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/obyte-gui-wallet
• Linux: ~/.config/obyte-gui-wallet
• Windows: %APPDATA%\obyte-gui-wallet

O_byte uses standard gettext PO files for translations and Crowdin as the front-end tool for translators. To join our team of translators, please create an account at Crowdin and translate the O_byte documentation and application text into your native language.

To download and build using the latest translations from Crowdin, please use the following commands:

cd i18n
node crowdin_download.js

This will download all partial and complete language translations while also cleaning out any untranslated ones.
