# ln-stream > Stream graph updates from LND into Memgraph. ## Setup and Installation This guide assumes that you already have [Go](https://go.dev/) and [Memgraph Lab](https://memgraph.com/download#individual) installed. To get started, follow these steps: 1. Clone this repository to your local machine: ``` git clone https://github.com/.../ln-stream.git cd ln-stream ``` 2. Initialize the Go module and download dependencies: ``` go mod tidy ``` 3. Configure the environment variables: - Copy the example file `.env-example` to `.env`: ``` cp .env-example .env ``` - Open the `.env` file and populate it with the relevant values: ``` NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687 NEO4J_USERNAME= NEO4J_PASSWORD= LND_ADDRESS=:10009 LND_NETWORK=mainnet LND_MACAROON_PATH=/path/to/readonly.macaroon LND_TLS_CERT_PATH=/path/to/tls.cert ``` 4. Start Memgraph using Docker Compose: ``` docker compose up ``` 5. Start the Control Panel: ``` go run main.go ``` From here, you should have an instance of memgraph up receiving updates from LND. There is also a control panel running at http://localhost:8080 that lets you pause graph updates and reset the graph.
