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 python3-flask python3-stem python3-pyqt5 python3-crypto python3-socks python3-distutils python-nautilus tor obfs4proxy python3-pytest build-essential fakeroot python3-all python3-stdeb dh-python
For Fedora-like distros:
dnf install -y python3-flask python3-stem python3-qt5 python3-crypto python3-pysocks nautilus-python tor obfs4 python3-pytest rpm-build
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 OpenSuSE: There are instructions for building in the wiki.
For ArchLinux: There is a PKBUILD available here that can be used to install OnionShare.
If you find that these instructions don't work for your Linux distribution or version, consult the Linux Distribution Support wiki guide, which might contain extra instructions.
Mac OS X
Install Xcode from the Mac App Store. Once it's installed, run it for the first time to set it up. Also, run this to make sure command line tools are installed: xcode-select --install
. And finally, open Xcode, go to Preferences > Locations, and make sure under Command Line Tools you select an installed version from the dropdown. (This is required for installing Qt5.)
Download and install Python 3.7.0 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370/. I downloaded python-3.7.0-macosx10.9.pkg
.
You may also need to run the command /Applications/Python\ 3.7/Install\ Certificates.command
to update Python 3.6's internal certificate store. Otherwise, you may find that fetching the Tor Browser .dmg file fails later due to a certificate validation error.
Download and install Qt5 from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/. I downloaded qt-unified-mac-x64-3.0.5-online.dmg
. There's no need to login to a Qt account during installation. When you select components, install the macOS
component from Qt 5.11.1 (or whatever the latest Qt version is).
Now install some python dependencies with pip (note, there's issues building a .app if you install this in a virtualenv):
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 Python 3.7.0, 32-bit (x86) from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370/. I downloaded python-3.7.0.exe
. When installing it, make sure to check the "Add Python 3.7 to PATH" checkbox on the first page of the installer.
Open a command prompt, cd to the onionshare folder, and install dependencies with pip:
pip install -r install\requirements.txt
Download and install Qt5 from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/. I downloaded qt-unified-windows-x86-3.0.5-online.exe
. There's no need to login to a Qt account during installation. When you can select components, install the MSVC 2015 32-bit
component from Qt 5.11.1 (or whatever the latest Qt version is).
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 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. I downloaded 7z1805.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\10.0.16299.0\x86
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs\x86
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip
If you want to build the installer:
- Go to http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download and download the latest NSIS. I downloaded
nsis-3.03-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 got an open source code signing certificate from Certum.
- 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 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, first install some dependencies:
pip3 install -r install/requirements-tests.txt
Then you can run pytest
against the tests/
directory.
pytest tests/
You can run GUI tests like this:
pytest --rungui tests/
If you would like to also run the GUI unit tests in 'tor' mode, start Tor Browser in the background, then run:
pytest --rungui --runtor tests/
Keep in mind that the Tor tests take a lot longer to run than local mode, but they are also more comprehensive.
You can also choose to wrap the tests in xvfb-run
so that a ton of OnionShare windows don't pop up on your desktop (you may need to install the xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
package), like this:
xvfb-run pytest --rungui tests/
