# Overview
zeclite lightwalletd is a fork of [lightwalletd](https://github.com/adityapk00/lightwalletd) from the ECC.
It is a backend service that provides a bandwidth-efficient interface to the Zcash blockchain for the [zeclite light wallet](https://github.com/adityapk00/lightwalletclient).
## Changes from upstream lightwalletd
This version of zeclite lightwalletd extends lightwalletd and:
* Adds support for transparent addresses
* Adds several new RPC calls for lightclients
## Running your own zeclite lightwalletd
0. First, install [Go >= 1.11](https://golang.org/dl/#stable).
1. You need to run a zcash full node with the following options in zcash.conf
```
server=1
testnet=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcport=18232
experimentalfeatures=1
txindex=1
insightexplorer=1
```
2. Run the ingester:
```
go run cmd/ingest/main.go -conf-file ~/.zcash/zcash.conf -db-path ~/.zcash/testnet3/sqllightdb
```
3. Run the frontend:
```
go run cmd/server/main.go -bind-addr 0.0.0.0:9067 -conf-file ~/.zcash/zcash.conf -db-path ~/.zcash/testnet3/sqllightdb
```
4. Point the `zeclite-cli` to this server
```
./zeclite-cli --server 127.0.0.1:9067
```
