Failed to start lnd.service: Unit bitcoind.service not found. (lnd installation)

  • I installed my bitcoind and lnd correctly.

  • I put my datadir=/mnt/vdb to bitcoind.conf file and it allows me to start bitcoind with this command: bitcoind -daemon.

  • As a final step, I want to learn lnd

    sudo service lnd start

    Failed to start lnd.service: Unit bitcoind.service not found.

For me, I don’t understand why it can’t find bitcoind.service since I could run bitcoind without --datadir parameter.

How do I fix this error?
