#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: (Doesnt require testnet syncing.)

$ lnd --simnet --debughtlc
