Setup a node

The node that you set up will normally run on a separate device, not your smartphone. Typically, this could be a Raspberry Pi or a computer, and it should stay online at all times. BitBanana will be your remote control for that node.

The easiest and most reliable setup for BitBanana is using Start9 or Umbrel to run LND. However, many options are available. The setup method for your node doesn’t matter much, as long as it’s based on a LND or Core Lightning node.

Here’s a list of noteworthy projects that simplify the setup, presented alphabetically.
