  • Plan wallet backups, including application data containing private payments and multisig co-signers.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The repository is public and lists an MIT license.
  • The source-build instructions require Node.js, Yarn and operating-system-specific tools for Electron native modules.
  • The README says a BIP39 mnemonic backs up the wallet key but does not cover private payments or multisig co-signers stored in the app data directory.
  • Binary downloads are directed to Obyte.org; the repository does not itself provide detailed download steps.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build and start the wallet from source

Set up and launch the Obyte wallet from its GitHub source repository.

Before you start

  • Node.js; the README gives Node.js 16 as an example.
  • Yarn.
  • C++ build tools, Python 2.7, and platform-specific tools to rebuild Electron native modules.
  • For Linux, the README lists Python, g++ and make; for macOS, Xcode and Command Line Tools; for Windows, C++ Build Tools 2015 or 2017 and Python 2.7.

Steps

  1. Install Node.js and Yarn.

  2. Install the native-module build prerequisites for your operating system.

  3. Clone the repository and enter its directory: git clone https://github.com/byteball/obyte-gui-wallet.git, then cd obyte-gui-wallet.

  4. Run yarn to build the application, then yarn start to run it.

Expected outcome

The README’s source workflow builds and starts the Obyte desktop application locally.

Guide limitations

  • These are README instructions, not a verified build or compatibility guarantee.
  • The documented prerequisites vary by operating system; the README specifically identifies Electron native-module rebuilding as a requirement.
