Some basic linux proficiency is required. When they say you should have the good sense to omit the <> symbols. Try this:

Code:

lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug

Also bitcoind has to be synchronized. Has it downloaded all 180GB of the blockchain?

I am not linux savy but thank you for replying. Doing my best to make this work without having the technical skills and feel so appreciative when someone answers one of many my noob questions.

1.When I typed that I get:
znd@znd-desktop:~/lightning/lightning$ lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug
lightningd: command not found

2.what is the difference between bitcoind and the core? bitcoin core is fully synchronised and both ways connections.

I'm sure these are silly questions.. but I really want to make the server working
