lightning network bitcoin howto install Hello fellow bitcoiners,

I would like to install lightning over Bitcoin core - I already have a full node. But every guide I follow ends up with a broken build or some issue preventing to finish the install of lightning. Did you have success with a good howto by any chance? I would preciate if someone could post a proven working install howto.

Thank you very much, /cr!?ptal
You can do

sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -u ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo add-apt-repository -u ppa:lightningnetwork/ppa
sudo apt-get install bitcoind lightningd


If you don't want to add external repositories you can flollow the clightning docs from https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/blob/master/doc/INSTALL.md they worked perfectly last time I checked and are copied here for your convenience. 

Library Requirements

You will need several development libraries:

zlib: for compression routines.


For actually doing development and running the tests, you will also need:

valgrind: for extra debugging checks


You will also need a version of bitcoind with segregated witness and estimatesmartfee economical node, such as the 0.16 or above.
