Liana GUI

The Liana graphical interface.

Dependencies

You will need a few dependencies in order to run correctly this software. For Linux systems, those are:

  • fontconfig for access to fonts (On Debian/Ubuntu apt install libfontconfig1-dev)
  • libudev-dev to communicate with devices through USB (On Debian/Ubuntu apt install libudev-dev)

In addition, if you want to build the project from source, you will need:

  • pkg-config (On Debian/Ubuntu apt install pkg-config)

Usage

For a quick guide to try out the software see ../doc/TRY.md.

liana-gui --datadir <datadir> --<network>

The default datadir is the same as for lianad (~/.liana for Linux). The default network is Bitcoin mainnet, but testnet signet and regtest are supported.

If the software is started with no parameter and no data directory is detected, a Liana installer will be spawned that will guide you in the processing of configuring Liana.

If the software is started and a reachable lianad is running, it will plug to it via lianad's JSONRPC interface.

Troubleshooting

  • If you encounter layout issue on X11, try to start the GUI with WINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTOR manually set to 1
