| # Chapter 18: Understanding Your Lighting Setup
 | |
| 
 | |
| > :information_source: **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The previous chapter concluded our work with Bitcoin proper, through CLI, scripting, and programming languages. However, there are many other utilities within the Bitcoin ecosystem: this chapter and the next cover what may be the biggest and most important: the Lightning Network. Here you'll begin work with the `lightning-cli` command-line interface, understanding a c-lightning setup and its features, including some examples and basic configuration.
