[NOTE]
====
*Pre-requisite*

Lisk Service is a web application middleware that allows interaction with various blockchain networks based on the Lisk protocol.
It is recommended to set up a blockchain node first, before setting up Lisk Service.

* To set up a Lisk-Core node, see any of our setup guides, such as xref:{url_core_setup_npm}[].
* Alternatively, you can set up a sidechain node to connect to Lisk Service.
* Please make sure to set `system.keepEventsForHeights: -1` in the node config before synchronizing the node with the network.

TIP: Install from source code if you want to customize the codebase of Lisk Service, e.g. if you want to adjust the API to be fully compatible with your blockchain application.
