# OnionShare Desktop
## Building OnionShare
Start by getting the source code and changing to the `desktop` folder:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/onionshare/onionshare.git
cd onionshare/desktop
```
Make sure you have Python 3 installed. If you're using Windows or macOS, install the latest version of 3.10 [from python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/). For Windows, make sure to check the box to add python to the path on the first page of the installer.
Make sure you have [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) installed:
```
pip3 install poetry
```
And install the poetry dependencies:
```sh
poetry install
```
**Windows users:** You may need to install [Microsoft C++ Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/), making sure to check "Desktop development with C++", before `poetry install` will work properly.
### Get Tor
**Linux users:** In Ubuntu you may need the `libxcb-xinerama0` package installed.
**Windows users:**
- Download and install 7-Zip (x64) from https://7-zip.org/download.html. [Add](https://medium.com/@kevinmarkvi/how-to-add-executables-togit fethc-your-path-in-windows-5ffa4ce61a53) `C:\Program Files\7-Zip` to your path.
- Download and install gpg4win from https://gpg4win.org/. Add `C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin` to your path too.
Download Tor Browser and extract the binaries for your platform. The platform must be `win64`, `macos`, or `linux64`.
```sh
poetry run python ./scripts/get-tor.py [platform]
```
### Compile dependencies
Install Go. The simplest way to make sure everything works is to install Go by following [these instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install).
Compile pluggable transports:
**Windows users, in PowerShell:**
```powershell
.\scripts\build-pt-obfs4proxy.ps1
.\scripts\build-pt-snowflake.ps1
.\scripts\build-pt-meek.ps1
```
**macOS and Linux users:**
```sh
./scripts/build-pt-obfs4proxy.sh
./scripts/build-pt-snowflake.sh
./scripts/build-pt-meek.sh
```
### Running OnionShare from the source code tree
To run OnionShare from the source tree:
```sh
poetry run onionshare
poetry run onionshare --help
poetry run onionshare -v
poetry run onionshare -v --local-only
```
You can also run `onionshare-cli` from the source tree, and it will look for Tor binaries in `desktop/onionshare/resources/tor`.
```sh
poetry run onionshare-cli --help
```
## Running tests
Run the tests:
```sh
poetry run ./tests/run.sh
```
If you want to run tests while hiding the GUI, you must have the `xvfb` package installed, and then:
```sh
xvfb-run poetry run ./tests/run.sh
```
