## Setup
LND and the swaplet are using go modules. Make sure that the `GO111MODULE` env variable is set to `on`.
In order to execute a swap, LND needs to be rebuilt with sub servers enabled.
### LND
* Checkout branch `master`
- `make install tags="signrpc walletrpc chainrpc"` to build and install lnd with required sub-servers enabled.
- Make sure there are no macaroons in the lnd dir `~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet`. If there are, lnd has been started before and in that case, it could be that `admin.macaroon` doesn't contain signer permission. Delete `macaroons.db` and `*.macaroon`.
DO NOT DELETE `wallet.db` !
- Start lnd
### Swaplet
- `git clone git@gitlab.com:lightning-labs/swaplet.git`
- `cd swaplet/cmd`
- `go install ./...`
## Execute a swap
* Swaps are executed by a client daemon process. Run:
`swapd`
By default `swapd` attempts to connect to an lnd instance running on `localhost:10009` and reads the macaroon and tls certificate from `~/.lnd`. This can be altered using command line flags. See `swapd --help`.
`swapd` only listens on localhost and uses an unencrypted and unauthenticated connection.
* To initiate a swap, run:
`swapcli uncharge <amt_msat>`
When the swap is initiated successfully, `swapd` will see the process through.
* To query and track the swap status, run `swapcli` without arguments.
## Resume
When `swapd` is terminated (or killed) for whatever reason, it will pickup pending swaps after a restart.
Information about pending swaps is stored persistently in the swap database. Its location is `~/.swaplet/<network>/swapclient.db`.
## Multiple simultaneous swaps
It is possible to execute multiple swaps simultaneously.
