The LND project provides a number of executable applications, including +lnd+ (the daemon itself) and +lncli+ (the command-line utility). LND has several pluggable backend chain services, including btcd (a full node), +bitcoind+ (Bitcoin Core), and Neutrino (a new, experimental light client). LND is written in the Go programming language. The project is open source and developed collaboratively on https://github.com/LightningNetwork/lnd[GitHub].(((range="endofrange", startref="ix_04_node_client-asciidoc10")))(((range="endofrange", startref="ix_04_node_client-asciidoc9")))

In the next few sections we will build a Docker container to run LND, build LND from source code, and learn how to configure and run LND.
