Installation
To install and activate a plugin you need to stop your lightningd and restart it
with the plugin argument like this:
lightningd --plugin=/path/to/plugin/directory/plugin_file_name.py
Notes:
- The
plugin_file_name.pymust have executable permissions:chmod a+x plugin_file_name.py - A plugin can be written in any programming language, as it interacts with
lightningdpurely using stdin/stdout pipes.
Automatic plugin initialization
Alternatively, especially when you use multiple plugins, you can copy or symlink
all plugin directories into your ~/.lightning/plugins directory. The daemon
will load each executeable it finds in sub-directories as a plugin. In this case
you don't need to manage all the --plugin=... parameters.
Pylightning
All python plugins depend on the pylightning library. It can be given in
several ways:
- Using
piptools:pip3 install pylightning - Using the
PYTHONPATHenvironment variable to include your clightning's shippedpylightninglibrary:
PYTHONPATH=/path/to/lightnind/contrib/pylightning lightningd
Additional dependencies
Additionally, some Python plugins come with a requirements.txt which can be
used to install the plugin's dependencies using the pip tools:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Note: You might need to also specify the --user command line flag depending on
your environment.
