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):
Note that python-stem appears in Debian wheezy and newer (so by extension Tails 1.1 and newer), and it appears in Ubuntu 13.10 and newer. Older versions of Debian and Ubuntu aren't supported.
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential fakeroot python-all python-stdeb python-flask python-stem python-qt4 dh-python
./install/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 pyqt4
./install/build_rpm.sh
sudo yum install -y dist/onionshare-*.rpm
For ArchLinux:
There is a PKBUILD available here that can be used to install onionshare
Mac OS X
Install the latest python 2.x from python.org. If you use the built-in version of python that comes with OS X, your .app might not run on other people's computers.
To install the right dependencies, you need homebrew and pip installed on your Mac. Follow instructions at http://brew.sh/ to install homebrew, and run sudo easy_install pip
to install pip.
The first time you're setting up your dev environment:
echo export PYTHONPATH=\$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
brew install qt4 pyqt
sudo pip install py2app flask stem
Get the source code:
git clone https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare.git
cd onionshare
To build the .app:
install/build_osx.sh
Now you should have dist/OnionShare.app
.
To codesign and build a .pkg for distribution:
install/build_osx.sh --sign
Now you should have dist/OnionShare.pkg
.
Windows
These instructions assume you're running Windows 10. They should work for other versions of Windows too, except for perhaps installing the Windows SDK which is required if you want to sign binaries with Authenticode.
Setting up your dev environment
- Download and install the latest python 2.7 from https://www.python.org/downloads/ -- make sure you install the 32-bit version.
- 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, and add
C:\Python27
andC:\Python27\Scripts
. Now you can just typepython
to run python scripts in the command prompt. - Go to https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html. Right-click on
get-pip.py
and Save Link As, and save it to your home folder. - Open a command prompt and type:
python get-pip.py
. Now you can usepip
to install packages. - Open a command prompt and type:
pip install flask stem pyinstaller
- Go to http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download and download the latest PyQt4 for Windows for python 2.7, 32-bit (I downloaded
PyQt4-4.11-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.6-x32.exe
), then install it. - Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ and download and install the latest 32-bit pywin32 binary for python 2.7. I downloaded
pywin32-219.win32-py2.7.exe
.
If you want to build the installer:
- Go to http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download and download the latest NSIS. I downloaded
nsis-3.0b0-setup.exe
. - 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, and add
C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS
to the end. Now you can just typemakensis [script]
to build an installer.
If you want to sign binaries with Authenticode:
- Go to https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk and install the standalone Windows 10 SDK. Note that you may not need this if you already have Visual Studio.
- 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, and add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86
. - You'll also, of course, 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:
- Open a command prompt, cd into the onionshare directory, and type:
pyinstaller -y install\onionshare-win.spec
. Inside thedist
folder there will be a folder calledonionshare
withonionshare.exe
in it.
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.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 nose unit tests. First,
sudo pip install nose
To run the tests:
nosetests test
