Simple install only leads to errors

[d4amenace]

Hello,

I followed these steps to install the plugin:

• sudo apt install default-jdk
• javac --version
• install this to whatever directory I like…. git clone https://github.com/clightning4j/btcli4j.git
• cd btcli4j
• ./gradlew createRunnableScript
• now in this directory you have a file called btcli4j-gen.sh
• Put the absolute path in the lightning config file (plugin=/home/nextlayer/btcli4j/btcli4j-gen.sh
• Now you can run lightning with the new cmd: lightningd --disable-plugin bcli

But when I do I get this.....................

lightningd --disable-plugin bcli

The Bitcoin backend died.

Could it be because I installed this plugin to another lightning node at the same ip address on a different server? Is it possible there are hardware conflicts?

[vincenzopalazzo]

Unfortunately, this is caused by an old version of c-lightning, we don't support the old version (after 6 months lightning break the API) if you will update to one of the last versions, your node will be up and running again.

I will leave this issue open for a couple of that, after that if any update happens, I will close.

Thanks

Yes, a mistake was made in not updating the node.
