Building OnionShare
Start by getting the source code:
git clone https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare.git
cd onionshare
Linux
Install the needed dependencies:
For Debian-like distros: apt install -y build-essential fakeroot python3-all python3-stdeb dh-python python3-flask python3-stem python3-pyqt5 python-nautilus python3-pytest tor
For Fedora-like distros: dnf install -y rpm-build python3-flask python3-stem python3-qt5 python3-pytest nautilus-python tor
After that you can try both the CLI and the GUI version of OnionShare:
./dev_scripts/onionshare
./dev_scripts/onionshare-gui
You can also build OnionShare packages to install:
Create a .deb on Debian-like distros: ./install/build_deb.sh
Create a .rpm on Fedora-like distros: ./install/build_rpm.sh
For ArchLinux: There is a PKBUILD available here that can be used to install OnionShare.
Mac OS X
Install Xcode from the Mac App Store. Once it's installed, run it for the first time to set it up.
Download and install Python 3.5.2 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/ (note that a pyinstaller bug prevents you from using Python 3.6). I downloaded python-3.5.2-macosx10.6.pkg
.
Download and install Qt 5.7.1 for macOS offline installer from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/. I downloaded qt-opensource-mac-x64-clang-5.7.1.dmg
. (You can skip making an account in the installer.)
Now install some python dependencies with pip (note, there's issues building a .app if you install this in a virtualenv):
sudo pip3 install -r install/requirements.txt
You can run both the CLI and GUI versions of OnionShare without building an bundle:
./dev_scripts/onionshare
./dev_scripts/onionshare-gui
To build the app bundle:
install/build_osx.sh
Now you should have dist/OnionShare.app
.
To codesign and build a pkg for distribution:
install/build_osx.sh --release
Now you should have dist/OnionShare.pkg
.
Windows
Setting up your dev environment
Download the latest Python 3.5.2, 32-bit (x86) from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/ (note that there's a pyinstaller/pywin32 bug that prevents 3.6.x from working). I downloaded python-3.5.2.exe
. When installing it, make sure to check the "Add Python 3.5 to PATH" checkbox on the first page of the installer.
Open a command prompt, cd to the onionshare folder, and install dependencies with pip:
pip3 install -r install\requirements-windows.txt
Download and install Qt5 from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/. I downloaded qt-unified-windows-x86-2.0.4-online.exe
. There's no need to login to a Qt account during installation. Make sure you install the latest Qt 5.x. I installed Qt 5.7.
After that you can try both the CLI and the GUI version of OnionShare:
python dev_scripts\onionshare
python dev_scripts\onionshare-gui
If you want to build a .exe:
These instructions include adding folders to the path in Windows. To do this, go to Start and type "advanced system settings", and open "View advanced system settings" in the Control Panel. Click Environment Variables. Under "System variables" double-click on Path. From there you can add and remove folders that are available in the PATH.
Download and install the 32-bit Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. I downloaded vc_redist.x86.exe
.
Download and install the standalone Windows 10 SDK. Note that you may not need this if you already have Visual Studio. Add the following directories to the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs\x86
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin
If you want to build the installer:
- Go to http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download and download the latest NSIS. I downloaded
nsis-3.01-setup.exe
. - Add
C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS
to the path.
If you want to sign binaries with Authenticode:
- You'll need a code signing certificate. I roughly followed this guide to make one using my StartSSL account.
- Once you get a code signing key and certificate and covert it to a pfx file, import it into your certificate store.
To make a .exe:
For PyInstaller to work, you might need to edit Scripts\pyinstaller-script.py
in your Python 3.5 folder, to work around this bug in pip.
- Open a command prompt, cd into the onionshare directory, and type:
pyinstaller install\pyinstaller.spec
.onionshare-gui.exe
and all of their supporting files will get created inside thedist
folder.
To build the installer:
Note that you must have a codesigning certificate installed in order to use the install\build_exe.bat
script, because it codesigns onionshare-gui.exe
, uninstall.exe
, and OnionShare_Setup.exe
.
Open a command prompt, cd to the onionshare directory, and type: install\build_exe.bat
This will prompt you to codesign three binaries and execute one unsigned binary. When you're done clicking through everything you will have dist\OnionShare_Setup.exe
.
Tests
OnionShare includes PyTest unit tests. To run the tests:
pytest test/
