To edit and build the documentation, you'll need these:
```sh
pip3 install --user sphinx
```
To test te documentation:
```sh
cd docs
make html

Developing OnionShare
=====================
Collaborating
-------------
OnionShare has an open Keybase team that we use to discuss the project, including asking questions, sharing ideas and designs, and making plans for future development. (It's also an easy way to send end-to-end encrypted direct messages to others in the OnionShare community, like OnionShare addresses.) To use Keybase, you need to download the `Keybase app <https://keybase.io/download>`_, make an account, and `join this team <https://keybase.io/team/onionshare>`_. Within the app, go to Teams, click "Join a Team", and type "onionshare".
OnionShare also has a `mailing list <https://lists.riseup.net/www/subscribe/onionshare-dev>`_ for developers and and designers to discuss the project.
Contributing Code
-----------------
OnionShare source code is in this git repository: https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare
If you'd like to contribute code to OnionShare, it helps to join the Keybase team and ask questions about what you're thinking of working on. You should also review all of the `open issues <https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare/issues>`_ on GitHub to see if there are any that you'd like to develop.
When you're ready to contribute code, open a pull request in the GitHub repository and one of the project maintainers will review it and possible ask questions, request changes, reject it, or merge it into the project.
Starting Development
--------------------
OnionShare is developed in Python. To get started, you should close the git repository at https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare/ and then consult the ``BUILD.md`` file.
That file contains the technical instructions and commands necessary:
* Install dependencies for your platform
* Run OnionShare from the source tree, without building a package
* Building packages
* Making a release of OnionShare
Debugging Tips
--------------
Verbose Mode
^^^^^^^^^^^^
When developing, it's convenient to run OnionShare from a terminal and add the ``--verbose`` (or ``-v``) flag to the command. This will print a lot of helpful messages to the terminal such as when certain objects are initialized, when events occur (like buttons clicked, settings saved or reloaded), and other debug information. For example::
$ poetry run ./dev_scripts/onionshare -v test.txt

You can add your own debug messages by running the ``Common.log`` method from ``onionshare/common.py``. For example::
common.log('OnionShareGui', 'start_server', 'I ran here')
This can be useful when learning the chain of events that occur when using the application or the value of certain variables before and after they are manipulated.
Local Only
^^^^^^^^^^
Tor is slow, and it's often convenient to skip starting onion services altogether during development. You can do this with the ``--local-only`` flag. For example::
$ poetry run ./dev_scripts/onionshare --local-only --receive

In this case, you load the URL ``http://onionshare:eject-snack@127.0.0.1:17614`` in a normal web browser like Firefox, instead of using Tor Browser.
Debugging in Windows
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to obtain debug output from the ``onionshare-gui.exe`` in Windows, you will need to edit ``install\pyinstaller.spec`` and change ``console=False`` to ``console=True``.
Then rebuild the EXE with ``install\build_exe.bat`` (you may need to comment out the ``signtool`` commands in the ``build_exe.bat`` and the ``onionshare.nsi`` files, as per the ``BUILD.md`` instructions).
After this, you can run ``onionshare-gui.exe -v`` from a command prompt to see the debug output.

How it Works
============
OnionShare works by starting web servers locally on your own computer (at ``127.0.0.1`` on a random port between 17600 and 17650), and then making them accessible to other people as a `Tor <https://www.torproject.org/>`_ `onion service <https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/>`_.
By default, OnionShare web addresses are password protected. The username is always ``onionshare`` and the password is randomly generated. For example, a typical OnionShare address might look something like this::
http://onionshare:constrict-purity@by4im3ir5nsvygprmjq74xwplrkdgt44qmeapxawwikxacmr3dqzyjad.onion
In this case, the Tor onion address is ``by4im3ir5nsvygprmjq74xwplrkdgt44qmeapxawwikxacmr3dqzyjad.onion`` -- this is random, and each time you use OnionShare you'll get a different onion address. The username is ``onionshare`` and the random password is ``constrict-purity``.
The OnionShare user is responsible for securely sharing that URL with their audience using a communication channel of their choice such as in an encrypted chat message, or something less secure like a Twitter or Facebook message, depending on their threat model.
The members of the audience must use `Tor Browser <https://www.torproject.org/>`_ to load the URL and access the OnionShare service.
With OnionShare, *your own computer is the web server*. If you start an OnionShare service and send the URL to someone, you must keep your computer turned on and connected to the internet or else the service will go down. Because of this, OnionShare is most useful if it's used in real-time.
For example, if a user runs OnionShare on their laptop to send someone files, and then suspends their laptop before the files have been downloaded, the service will not be available until the laptop is unsuspended and connected to the internet again.
Because your own computer is the web server, *no third party can access anything that happens in OnionShare*, not even the developers of OnionShare. It's completely private. And because OnionShare is based on Tor onion services too, it also protects your anonymity. See the :doc:`security design </security>` for more information.

Installing OnionShare
=====================
Windows and macOS
-----------------
You can always get the latest version of OnionShare for Windows and macOS from `onionshare.org <https://onionshare.org/>`_.
You can find old versions of OnionShare for Windows and macOS from https://onionshare.org/dist/.
Linux
-----
Many Linux distributions come with OnionShare in their package repositories. You can use these if you want, but they might be old.
If you want to make sure you have the latest version with support for the most features, you should use the Flatpak package. The Flatpak package is also more secure because it always uses the most up-to-date dependencies and runs OnionShare inside of a sandbox.
**To install OnionShare using Flatpak:** Make sure you have ``flatpak`` installed and the Flathub repository added by following `these instructions <https://flatpak.org/setup/>`_ for your Linux distribution. Then install OnionShare from Flathub by following `the instructions here <https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.onionshare.OnionShare>`_.
