This tutorial explains how to set up a Bitcoin full node with a Lightning node on your server. Running a full node contributes to the strength and security of the Bitcoin network, and a Lightning node enables faster, cheaper transactions.
The most important requirement for implementation is a basic understanding of the Linux command line.
## Requirements

Follow the steps described by the command-line interface to create a new wallet, including setting a wallet password, generating a seed, and backing up your seed phrase.
Congratulations! You now have a functioning Bitcoin full node with a Lightning Network node and a newly created wallet.

For more information and basic usage of LND, check out the [official LND documentation](https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lnd/first-steps-with-lnd).
Remember to keep your seed phrase secure and make sure to have a backup, as losing it will result in the loss of your funds. Also, keep your server secure and up-to-date to ensure the safety of your Bitcoin full node and Lightning Network node.

With your new setup, you can now participate in the Bitcoin and Lightning Network ecosystems, send and receive transactions, and contribute to the overall health and decentralization of the network. Enjoy exploring the world of cryptocurrencies and the Lightning Network!

Now you have a Bitcoin full node with a Lightning node up and running. You can use `lncli` to interact with your LND node, and you can connect your Lightning wallet to your node for sending and receiving payments.
