Download the latest binaries from the [releases](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/releases) page.
Additionally, you can find detailed instructions on the [docs.lightning.engineering](https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lightning-terminal/get-lit) page.
Note that a password with a minimum of 8 characters is required to run Lightning Terminal. In a production environment, it's recommended that you store this password as an environment variable to avoid it being recorded in the command history.
To use LiT with a remote `lnd` instance please [follow these instructions](./doc/config-lnd-remote.md). If you would like to replace your existing LND instance with the one integrated within LiT please see [configuring Terminal](./doc/config-lnd-integrated.md).
Note that LiT requires `lnd` to be built with **all of its subservers** and requires running at least v0.11.0. Download the latest [official release binary](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases/latest) or build `lnd` from source by following the [installation instructions](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md). If you choose to build `lnd` from source, use the following command to enable all the relevant subservers:
If you plan to run LiT on a remote machine but access the web-interface from your computer you may not want to deal with self-signed certificate browser warnings. To avoid these warnings configure the HTTP server to use a certificate from [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/). View the
[Let's Encrypt Configuration](./doc/letsencrypt.md) doc for instructions on how to configure this.
To upgrade from v0.1.1-alpha or earlier simply create a `lit.conf` file in your LiT directory. The default location LiT uses depends on your operating system:
Move all the configuration settings specific to LiT from `lnd.conf` to `lit.conf` and remove any previous LiT-specific customizations from the configuration settings in `lnd.conf`. Note that any section headers (`[ Example ]`) in `lit.conf` should be removed or changed to comments (`# Example`).
