OnionShare Desktop

Building OnionShare

Start by getting the source code and changing to the desktop folder:

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

Install platform-specific dependencies

Linux

If you're using Linux, install tor and obfs4proxy from either the official Debian repository, or from your package manager.

macOS

Download and install Python 3.8.6 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-386/. I downloaded python-3.8.6-macosx10.9.pkg. (You may need to also run /Applications/Python\ 3.8/Install\ Certificates.command.)

Install some python dependencies:

pip3 install --user poetry requests

Download Tor Browser and extract the binaries:

./scripts/get-tor-osx.py

Windows

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 Python 3.8.6, 32-bit (x86) from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-386/. I downloaded python-3.8.6.exe. When installing it, make sure to check the "Add Python 3.8 to PATH" checkbox on the first page of the installer.

Download and install 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. I downloaded 7z1900.exe. Add C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip to your path.

Download Tor Browser and extract the binaries:

pip install requests
python scripts\get-tor-windows.py

Prepare the code

In order to work with the desktop app, you'll need to build a wheel of the CLI package first, and copy it into the desktop folder:

cd ../cli
poetry install
poetry build
cp dist/onionshare_cli-*.whl ../desktop
cd ../desktop

OnionShare uses Briefcase.

Install Briefcase dependencies by following these instructions.

Now create and/or activate a virtual environment.

  • Linux and macOS
    python3 -m venv venv
    . venv/bin/activate
    
  • Windows
    python -m venv venv
    venv\Scripts\activate.bat
    

While your virtual environment is active, install briefcase from pip.

pip install briefcase

Run OnionShare from the source tree like this:

briefcase dev -d

Running tests

Install these packages inside your virtual environment:

pip install pytest pytest-briefcase pytest-faulthandler pytest-qt

Then run the tests:

./tests/run.sh

If you want to run tests while hiding the GUI, you must have the xvfb package installed, and then:

xvfb-run ./tests/run.sh
