Alby is a browser extension that can be connected to your lightning node a number of ways.
This guide will go over **direct connections** between **Alby and LND** using **LNC**.
.. tip:: If you'd like to connect using LND's REST API see :ref:`here<alby-lnd>`. If you'd like to connect via LNbits which allows allocation of funds, please see :ref:`this guide<connecting-lnbits>`.
.. note:: Requires the `Lightning Terminal <https://marketplace.start9.com/marketplace/lightning-terminal>`_ service and only possible with LND nodes.
Available For:
- Chrome-based browsers
- Firefox
#. 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** and click **Connect**.
#. Click on **Start9** then on **Lightning Terminal (LNC)**.
