Install Loopd from source or the binaries

Install Loop

Loop comes bundled with Lightning Terminal (litd). If you are already running litd, you can access Loop through the command line or the Lightning Terminal UI and may skip the steps below.

Follow this guide to install Lightning Terminal

Installation

To run Loop you need to be running LND from the binary releases, or compile from source with the command make install tags="signrpc walletrpc chainrpc invoicesrpc"

Run the Binary

You can run Loop directly from the binary releases, which you can find here.

Compile from source

You can compile Loop from source. This requires Golang. Instructions for how to install Go can be found in the LND installation guide.

git clone https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop.git cd loop make && make install

Configuration

By default, the loopd.conf is placed in ~/.loop/mainnet/ If you are starting loopd on another network (e.g. loopd --network=signet), the configuration file is expected in the relevant directory (e.g. ~/.loop/signet). You may also pass a custom directory with the --configfile= flag.
