# Building OnionShare

## GNU/Linux

Start by getting a copy of the source code:

    git clone https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare.git
    cd onionshare

*For .deb-based distros (like Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint):*

    sudo apt-get install -y build-essential fakeroot python-all python-stdeb python-flask python-stem python-webkit
    ./build_deb.sh
    sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/onionshare_*.deb

*For .rpm-based distros (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS):*

    sudo yum install -y rpm-build python-flask python-stem pywebkitgtk
    ./build_rpm.sh
    sudo yum install -y dist/onionshare-*.rpm

## Mac OS X

*Note: This is a work-in-progress. The OnionShare GUI doesn't yet work in Mac OS X. See https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare/issues/43 for progress.*

Get a copy of the source code:

    git clone https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare.git
    cd onionshare

Install py2app (if you don't have pip installed, you can `sudo easy_install pip`):

    sudo pip install py2app

Then build the .app:

    python setup.py py2app

Now you'll see `dist/OnionShare.app` with a nice icon. However, it won't run yet.

## Windows

*Note: Haven't started figuring this out yet.*
