Make sure you are already :ref:`running Tor<connecting-tor>` on your system if you want to use Core Lightning. For LND this isn't necessary as you can use their companion app.
#. Download the Alby extension by visiting the `Alby Github <https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension#installation>`_, selecting your browser, and installing.
#. On the Alby welcome screen, select "Get Started."
#. Create a strong password and store it somewhere safe, like your Vaultwarden password manager.
#. On the next screen, select "Other Wallets".
#. Now follow the appropriate guide for your lightning implementation:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Core Lightning
#. Click Core Lightning.

#. For "Host" this is your Peer Interface - find this at the top of "Interfaces" within the CLN service on your Embassy. Remove the *http://* at the start.

#. For "Public key" enter your "Node Id" found at the top of "Properties" (also within the CLN service on your Embassy).
