== Set up your Lightning Network Node
|
||
|
|
The Lightning Network is specified in the lightning-rfc by the open source community.
|
||
|
|
The lightning-rfc is also called Basics of Lightning Technology (BOLT) which is a collection of documents (BOLTs) that specify the components needed for the protocol.
|
||
|
|
There are several teams who implement the BOLTs as software which you can run on your computer or a server.
|
||
|
|
All those teams also contribute to the BOLTs.
|
||
|
|
In this chapter you will learn how to set up each of the software packages for each of the Lightning Network implementations.
|
||
|
|
We presented them in alphabetical order to emphasize that we generally do not prefer or recommend one over the other.
|
||
|
|
It will depend on your preferences which of the software packages you might want to work with.
