- Run the install command.
sudo dpkg -i lichen-release
- Start Lichen from
/usr/bin/Lichenor from Lichen app shortcut via the Show Applications menu.
Dependencies for Ubuntu 20.04.
sudo apt install build-essential git pkg-config python3-dev python3-venv libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 libcanberra-gtk3-module
I highly recommended creating a virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts.
python3 -m venv envname
Once the venv is created source it in order to install the dependencies to that environment.
source path/to/envname/bin/activate
Install briefcase and required dependencies.
pip install briefcase Flask web3 cryptography Flask-WTF toga
Build and run the app.
briefcase run
You can customize the default network and ethereum account with a config.ini file. If you don't have a config.ini file LichenWallet will use the first public address created as the default address.
Example config.ini file:
[DEFAULT]
network = your_main_node_url
default_address = your_public_ethereum_address
ens_mainnet_node = your_mainnet_node_url
logs = false
TBD.
