You can install litd from source or via the provided binary. If you are running LND as part of a software bundle like Umbrel, litd might already be installed on your node.
In this case, continue here: Connect to Terminal
Choose this option for a quick and convenient installation. You can find the binaries and verification instructions for the latest release on Github.
Once you have downloaded the binary for your operating system, verify them and unpack them, either with your file manager or the command line. This may look like this:
tar -xvf lightning-terminal-<latest release>-alpha.tar.gz
Or on Windows:
tar -xvzf C:\path\lightning-temrinal<latest-release>-alpha.tar.gz -C C:\path\litd
You can now execute the program from its location, or place it where the system can conveniently find it, such as /bin/litd on Linux.
Continue here: Connect to Terminal
