# Building OnionShare

## GNU/Linux

Start by getting a copy of the source code:

```sh
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.

```sh
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential fakeroot python-all python-stdeb python-flask python-stem python-qt4
./install/build_deb.sh
sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/onionshare_*.deb
```

*For .rpm-based distros (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS):*

```sh
sudo yum install -y rpm-build python-flask python-stem pyqt4
./install/build_rpm.sh
sudo yum install -y dist/onionshare-*.rpm
```

## Mac OS X

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:

```sh
git clone https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare.git
cd onionshare
echo export PYTHONPATH=\$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
brew install qt4 pyqt
sudo pip install py2app flask stem
```

To build the .app:

```sh
python setup.py py2app
```

Now you should have `dist/OnionShare.app`.

To codesign and build a .pkg for distribution:

```sh
./install/build_osx.sh
```

Now you should have `dist/OnionShare.pkg`.

## Windows

### 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.
* Right click on Computer, go to Properties. Click "Advanced system settings". Click Environment Variables. Under "System variables" double-click on Path to edit it. Add `;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts` to the end. Now you can just type `python` 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 `cmd.exe` as an administrator. Type: `python get-pip.py`. Now you can use `pip` 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`.
* Download and install the [Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29).

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`.
* Right click on Computer, go to Properties. Click "Advanced system settings". Click Environment Variables. Under "System variables" double-click on Path to edit it. Add `;C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS` to the end. Now you can just type `makensisw [script]` to build an installer.

If you want to sign binaries with Authenticode:

* Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa496123 and install the latest .NET Framework. I installed `.NET Framework 4.5.1`.
* Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8279 and install the Windows SDK.
* Right click on Computer, go to Properties. Click "Advanced system settings". Click Environment Variables. Under "System variables" double-click on Path to edit it. Add `;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin` to the end.
* You'll also, of course, need a code signing certificate. I roughly followed [this guide](http://blog.assarbad.net/20110513/startssl-code-signing-certificate/) 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 the `dist` folder there will be a folder called `onionshare` with `onionshare.exe` in it.

### To build the installer:

Note that you must have a code signing certificate installed in order to use the `install\build_exe.bat` script, because it tries code signing both `onionshare.exe` and `OnionShare_Setup.exe`.

Open a command prompt, cd to the onionshare directory, and type: `install\build_exe.bat`

A NSIS window will pop up, and once it's done you will have `dist\OnionShare_Setup.exe`.

## Tests

OnionShare includes [nose](https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) unit tests. First,

```sh
sudo pip install nose
```

To run the tests:

```sh
nosetests test
```
