Protobuf schema for LBRY claims and spec for lbry:// URIs
lbryschema is a protobuf schema that defines how claims are structured and validated in the LBRY blockchain. There is also code to construct, parse, and validate lbry:// URIs.
Add git+https://github.com/lbryio/lbryschema.git#egg=lbryschema to requirements.txt
See docs/schema.md.
To install in development mode, run pip install -r requirements.txt; pip install -e . from the repo directory.
To run the tests, run ./run_tests_and_pylint.sh from the repo directory.
There are compiled protobuf files in lbryschema/schema (see the files that end in _pb2.py), so compiling fresh is not necessary for most.
If you want to compile the protobuf files yourself, install protoc:
- macOS:
brew install protobuf - Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler python-protobuf
Once protobuf is installed, run ./build.sh to compile the .proto files.
