Title: Lightning Node Post by: zenderady on July 08, 2018, 10:07:30 AM I have a ubuntu working Bitcoin core full node. Can someone point me the right dirrection to install on top of it a lightning node?
Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: jackg on July 08, 2018, 10:29:17 AM Are you on windows or Linux?
For Linux I found this: https://medium.com/coinmonks/bitcoin-setup-your-own-lightning-node-on-mainnet-94337bda09fa Windows equivalent: https://medium.com/@jadmubaslat/bitcoin-lightning-network-node-easy-setup-tutorial-for-windows-desktop-users-a-how-to-guide-9937b5a8a669 Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: zenderady on July 08, 2018, 10:45:08 AM as I said I have ubuntu
tried that tutorial and I get a error ~/lightning$ make The 1990s are calling: use ./configure! The 1990s are calling: use ./configure! Makefile:182: recipe for target 'ccan/config.h' failed make: *** [ccan/config.h] Error 1 Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: zenderady on July 08, 2018, 11:17:59 AM figured I had to use ./configure
now stuck here: ~/lightning$ lightningd --alias=<znd> --rgb=<#42f459> --network=bitcoin --lightning-dir=<home/znd/lightning> --bitcoin-datadir <~/.bitcoin/> --log-level=debug bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: jackg on July 08, 2018, 11:26:26 AM So you ran this:
Code: lightningd --alias=<your_alias> --rgb=<your_hex_color_value> --network=bitcoin --lightning-dir=<optional/path/to/lightningd> --bitcoin-datadir <optional/path/to/bitcoind> --log-level=debug[/quote] Just to clarify, have you gone through this (or similar): Code: sudo apt-get update From here (https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/blob/master/README.md) Try running just this and see if it throws an error: Code: lightningd/lightningd --network=bitcoin --log-level=debug Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: zenderady on July 09, 2018, 07:57:14 PM stuck here. bitcoin core IS running in the background.

You want the bitcoind to be running not bitcoin qt/core Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: Abdussamad on July 09, 2018, 08:05:00 PM Some basic linux proficiency is required. When they say <insertsomethinghere> you should have the good sense to omit the <> symbols. Try this:
Code: lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug Also bitcoind has to be synchronized. Has it downloaded all 180GB of the blockchain?

Has it downloaded all 180GB of the blockchain? I am not linux savy but thank you for replying. Doing my best to make this work without having the technical skills and feel so appreciative when someone answers one of many my noob questions. 1.When I typed that I get: znd@znd-desktop:~/lightning/lightning$ lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug lightningd: command not found 2.what is the difference between bitcoind and the core? bitcoin core is fully synchronised and both ways connections. I'm sure these are silly questions.. but I really want to make the server working Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: bob123 on July 10, 2018, 07:43:23 AM 1.When I typed that I get: znd@znd-desktop:~/lightning/lightning$ lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug lightningd: command not found Command not found appears because you didn't set a path variable. Navigate into the folder again and use ./lightningd instead of lightningd. In your case: ./lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug 2.what is the difference between bitcoind and the core? bitcoin core is fully synchronised and both ways connections. The executable named core is the GUI version, bitcoind runs without a GUI and is a daemon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing)). Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: zenderady on July 10, 2018, 05:58:19 PM I get this
znd@znd-desktop:~/lightning/lightning$ ./lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug bash: ./lightningd: Is a directory if someone can dm me if he has 5 mins I can share teamviewer credentials to get this running. I would appreciate it a lot Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: bob123 on July 10, 2018, 06:50:34 PM znd@znd-desktop:~/lightning/lightning$ ./lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug bash: ./lightningd: Is a directory Can you list the output of ls -al ? But if lightningd is a directory, then open it and run the command inside the directory where your executable (called lightningd) is located.

running that command says bitcoin-cli command not found Title: Re: Lightning Node Post by: zenderady on July 10, 2018, 09:25:58 PM After reading a bit online I just realised that maybe I have just the qt installed. proceding to install the cli as well
