 == Lightning Node Software
 
-As we've seenin previous chapters, a Lightning node is a computer system that participates in the Lightning Network. The Lightning Network is not a product or company - it is a set of open standards that define a baseline for interoperability. As such, Lightning node software has been built by a variety of companies and community groups. The vast majority of Lightning software is _open source_, meaning that the source code is open and licensed in such as way as to enable collaboration, sharing and community participation in the development process. Similarly, the Lightning node implementations we will show in this chapter are all open source and collaborative developed.

 Unlike Bitcoin, where the standard is defined by a _reference implementation_ in software (Bitcoin Core), in Lightning the standard is defined by a series of standards documents called _Basis of Lightning Technology (BOLT)_, found at the lightning-rfc repository at:

-The examples in this chapter, and more broadly in most of this book, use a command-line terminal. That means that you type commands into a terminal and receive text responses. Furthermore, the examples are demonstrated on an operating system based on the Linux kernel and GNU software system, specifically the latest long-term stable release of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). The majority of the examples can be replicated on other operating systems such as Windows or Mac OS, with small modifications to the commands. The biggest difference between operating systems is the _package manager_ which installs the various software libraries and pre-requisites. In the examples, we will use +apt+, which is the package manager for Ubuntu. In Mac OS, an common package manager used for open source development is Homebrew (command +brew+) found at https://brew.sh.

 Many developers also use a _container_, which is a type of virtual machine, to install a pre-configured operating system and application with all the necessary dependencies. Much of the Lightning software can also be installed using a container system such as _Docker_ (command +docker+) found at https://docker.com. Container installations are a lot easier, especially for those who are not used to a command-line environment.
