#Installation for Lnd and Btcd
### If Glide isn't installed, install it:
```
$ 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 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
```
(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
```
