Installing LND like a boss

install-lnd.sh

# install go
sudo snap install --classic go

# Create a 'go' directory in your home directory:
mkdir ~/go

# set GO PATH and PATH 
echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> .bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin" >> .bashrc
source .bashrc

# lnd is now using dep to manage dependancies, and dep has some additional requirements for development tools, so make sure you have the build-essential package installed:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install git-core

# install go deps
go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep

# clone and install lnd
cd ~/go
git clone https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
cd lnd
make install

# finish up

echo "LND is now installed and you should be able to run 'lnd' - next you will need to configure and set the backend - lots of good info is here: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md#installing-lnd-from-source"
