kooparse/OpenBazaar-Client

Front-end Electron application for talking with the OpenBazaar-Server daemon

OpenBazaar-Client

You must be running the OpenBazaar backend for the client to work!

Dependencies

• NodeJS
• Ensure that npm is added to your PATH!

Running

1. Clone the client repository into a directory of your choice:

• git clone https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Client.git

2. Navigate into the new folder created in (1)

• cd OpenBazaar-Client

3. Install the client

• npm install

4. Run the client

• npm start

Remember you must be running the OpenBazaar-Server for the client to function properly. If you want to access the test network (testnet), run the server using the -t flag (e.g. $ python openbazaard.py start -t).

If the server component has not generated a GUID (which happens only once, when the server is first started), then the client will not fully start up until the GUID is created.
