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.
