I keep getting an error when trying to change my alias for my node. I’m running a Raspberry pi4 and following instructions found on this network.  
I start by logging into my command prompt using **ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local**  
I can enter my password and it brings up umbrel@umbrel: ~ $, where I enter command **sudo nano umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf** and it again asks for my password. When I reenter my password and press enter I get an error message. Directory 'umbrel/lnd does not exist.  
I’m new to the space and not sure if I’m missing something or need a different command. I appreciate any feedback.

Hey @PizzaPaisan, sorry that you’ve run into this issue.  
With new versions of Umbrel the lnd.conf file is located in :  
`~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/`  
you can edit the file using :  
`sudo nano ~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf`  
you can then add in the **[Application Options]** block.  
`alias=SOMENAME`  
I hope this solves your issue !
