Library Requirements
--------------------
You will need several development libraries:
* libsqlite3: for database support.
* libgmp: for secp256k1
For actually doing development and running the tests, you will also need:
* pip3: to install python-bitcoinlib
* asciidoc: for formatting the man pages (if you change them)
* valgrind: for extra debugging checks
You will also need a version of bitcoind with segregated witness and estimatesmartfee economical node, such as the 0.15 or above.
To Build on Ubuntu 15.10 or above
---------------------
Get dependencies:
```
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake build-essential git libtool libgmp-dev libsqlite3-dev python python3 net-tools
```
If you don't have Bitcoin installed locally you'll need to install that as well:
```
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y bitcoind
```
For development or running tests, get additional dependencies:
```
sudo apt-get install -y asciidoc valgrind python3-pip
sudo pip3 install python-bitcoinlib
```
Clone lightning:

cd lightning
```
Build lightning:
```
make
```
Running lightning:
```
bitcoind &
./lightningd/lightningd &

```
**Note**: You may need to include `testnet=1` in `bitcoin.conf`
To Build on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE
---------------------
Get dependencies:
```
# pkg install -y autoconf automake git gmake libtool python python3 sqlite3
```
If you don't have Bitcoin installed locally you'll need to install that as well:
```
# pkg install -y bitcoin-daemon bitcoin-utils
```
Clone lightning:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git
$ cd lightning
```
Build lightning:
```
$ gmake
```
Running lightning:
**Note**: Edit your `/usr/local/etc/bitcoin.conf` to include `rpcuser=<foo>` and `rpcpassword=<bar>` first, you may also need to include `testnet=1`
```
# service bitcoind start
$ ./lightningd/lightningd &
$ ./cli/lightning-cli help
