This is an amazing piece of software, still work-in-progress, based on IMMORTAN, that can do Lightning things, it is a "lite node", as we may call.
And, most importantly, it is entirely GUI based.
For a thing that you can control programmatically try cliché.
For development you can just do sbt run
, and to compile a fat jar that later can be run with just java -jar
do sbt assembly
.
