## LND
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:

## Interaction
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](./docs/letsencrypt.md) doc for instructions on how to configure this.

## Upgrading
If you used command line arguments with previous versions then you don't need to change anything when upgrading.
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:

- MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Lit/lit.conf`
- Linux: `~/.lit/lit.conf`
- Windows: `~/AppData/Roaming/Lit/lit.conf`
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`).
