RUN LND: Building a Node from Scratch

Run LND to start sending, receiving, and routing Lightning payments today! In this tutorial, we walk through how to set up a robust environment for LND, the Lightning Labs implementation of a Lightning Network node.

We start by selecting a barebones Amazon EC2 instance, and include detailed explanations for every step of the setup process: firewall protection, dependency install, bitcoind configuration, lnd configuration, best practices around backups, and more!
