description You can install litd on your Linux, MacOS or Windows machine, either in integrated or remote mode.

Get litd

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

Install the binary

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

Install from source

Prerequisites

  1. You will need Go. If you compiled LND from source this should already be installed on your system. You can find detailed instructions here.
  2. You will need nodejs. You can download and install it here.
  3. You will need yarn. You can download it here. Most conveniently, you can install it with npm install --global yarn
  4. You will need to run the latest release of LND at least (lnd v0.14.1). Have a look at this upgrade guide.

First, turn off lnd

lncli stop

Then, pull from source and install the latest release. You can find all releases here.

cd path/to/lnd

git pull

git checkout <latest release>

make install tags="autopilotrpc chainrpc invoicesrpc routerrpc signrpc walletrpc watchtowerrpc wtclientrpc"

Install litd

  1. First we will download the source code from Github

git clone https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal.git

git checkout <latest release>

  1. Now we will install it:

make install

The binaries should be found in your Go path, most commonly ~/go/bin/ You can navigate and check your Go path with cd $GOPATH

Continue here: Connect to Terminal
