#Installation for Lnd and Btcd
$ go get -u github.com/Masterminds/glide
###Install lnd:
$ cd $GOPATH
$ git clone https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
$ glide install
$ go install . ./cmd/...
###Create lnd.conf: On MacOS, located at: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Lnd/lnd.conf
On Linux, located at: ~/.lnd/lnd.conf
lnd.conf:
(Note: Replace kek with the username and password you prefer.)
[Application Options]
rpcuser=kek
rpcpass=kek
btcdhost=127.0.0.1
debuglevel=debug
###Install btcutil: (must be from roasbeef fork, not from btcsuite)
$ go get -u github.com/roasbeef/btcutil
###Install btcd: (must be from roasbeef fork, not from btcsuite)
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/roasbeef/btcd
$ glide install
$ go install . ./cmd/...
###Start btcd (will create rpc.cert and default btcd.conf):
$ btcd --testnet --txindex --rpcuser=kek --rpcpass=kek
(Note: It may take several minutes to find segwit-enabled peers.)
###Add a limited username and password to btcd.conf and restart
(Note: Replace kek with the username and password you prefer.)
On Linux:
$ sed -i 's#; rpclimituser=whatever_limited_username_you_want#rpclimituser=kek#' ~/.btcd/btcd.conf
$ sed -i 's#; rpclimitpass=#rpclimitpass=kek#' ~/.btcd/btcd.conf
On MacOS:
$ sed -i 's#; rpclimituser=whatever_limited_username_you_want#rpclimituser=kek#' /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Btcd/btcd.conf
$ sed -i 's#; rpclimitpass=#rpclimitpass=kek#' /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Btcd/btcd.conf
Then, regardless of OS:
$ btcctl --testnet stop
$ btcd --testnet
###Check to see that peers are connected:
$ btcctl --testnet getpeerinfo | more
###Start Lnd: (Once btcd has synced testnet)
$ lnd --testnet
###Start Lnd on Simnet: (Doesn’t require testnet syncing.)
$ lnd --simnet --debughtlc
