README

Lantern allows you to give or get access to the internet through other users around the world connected by a peer-to-peer network.

Lantern is written in Java and runs on modern Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu Linux desktop systems.

To run Lantern from source, you need Maven and Java installed. The Lantern developers use Oracle's Java 1.6 SDK, but other SDKs may work.

Then you can run:

$ ./run.bash

That's actually a "build and run" script that'll grab dependencies, build and then run Lantern. There's also a quickRun.bash script that will just run it when already built.

Lantern binds its HTTP API to a random port for security. You can pass --api-port=xyz to override this. This is helpful for pointing external browsers at Lantern for development.

If you want to run Lantern in headless mode, you can pass --disable-ui. That can be useful if you want to just keep Lantern running all the time on a server, for example.

If you're running Linux, note that Lantern's UI currently targets the Ubuntu 12.04 desktop environment (i.e. Unity). Other environments may work as well, but you may need to run something like the following before you can use the UI, depending on your system:

sudo apt-get install libxtst6
sudo yum install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs
