This script automates the setup process for Lightning Network nodes, enabling a fast and efficient deployment.

1. Ensure you have Multipass installed on your system.

2. Launch Multipass instances for each Lightning Network node:

   multipass launch --name alice --cpus 1 --memory 1G 22.04
   multipass launch --name bob --cpus 1 --memory 1G 22.04
   multipass launch --name carol --cpus 1 --memory 1G 22.04

   Replace alice, bob, carol with the desired names for the nodes.

3. SSH into each Multipass instance and run the script:

   multipass exec alice -- bash -c "curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mohamedawnallah/bootstrap-lightning-network/main/setup_ln | bash -s $BITCOIN_IP $LN_NODE_ALIAS"
   multipass exec bob -- bash -c "curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mohamedawnallah/bootstrap-lightning-network/main/setup_ln | bash -s $BITCOIN_IP $LN_NODE_ALIAS"
   multipass exec carol -- bash -c "curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mohamedawnallah/bootstrap-lightning-network/main/setup_ln | bash -s $BITCOIN_IP $LN_NODE_ALIAS"

   Initialize the BITCOIN_IP env variable with the IP address of your Bitcoin Core node, and LN_NODE_ALIAS env variable with an optional alias for the Lightning Network node otherwise the default hostname would be used instead.

• Installs Bitcoin Core (v23.0), Go (go1.22.1), and LND (latest commit in master branch).
• Configures Bitcoin and Lightning Network environments (in regtest mode).
• Sets up Lightning Network nodes for quick deployment.
• Automatically handles dependencies and environment setup.
