quickstart guide

this guide will help you get started with lightsocket.

purchasing​

lightsocket costs $25.00. you'll need to join the discord server first. once you're in, either purchase a voucher through sellauth or create a ticket for manual purchase - the same ticket can then be used for account setup after payment is confirmed. you'll be given a license key for logging in.

tip

to purchase bitcoin, you can use cashapp, venmo, and paypal natively. if this feature isn't available for you, you can use an exchanger on ogu to purchase crypto. if you would like to keep your payment safe, i accept trusted middlemen provided you pay their fee.

installation​

  1. use /download on the discord bot to download the latest version of lightsocket.
  2. extract the zip. open the folder called installers and run the installer for your operating system. install_unixlike.sh is for linux and macos, and install_windows_cmd.cmd/install_windows_powershell.ps1 are both for windows. they should tell you what you need on your system to run it:
  1. after installing node, re-run an installer if you haven't already. it will install the dependencies and create your home folder at ~/lightsocket.

setup​

the installer should have told you the location of your home folder. if you forgot, it's here:

  • windows: c:\users\USERNAME\lightsocket
  • macos: /users/USERNAME/lightsocket
  • linux: /home/USERNAME/lightsocket

...obviously replacing USERNAME with your username.

to login to to the program when starting it, you have to put your key in the auth.txt file located in ./settings/setup/auth.txt. you'll also need accounts and proxies in the ./settings/setup folder in their respective files. the program will tell you if you're missing anything. see the structure docs for information on how the folder is organized.

there is a default config file in ./settings/config.yaml that you can edit to your liking. it's commented to help you understand what each setting does. see the config docs detailed information.

starting​

to start the program, you can open a console of your choice to the lightsocket program folder (what you downloaded, not where the settings are) and run npm start. the program will start and tell you if there are any issues with your setup. you can also use any of the start scripts called start_* according to your os to do the same thing.

if you encounter any issues, please contact support for help.
