We **strongly** recommend that Windows users use [Docker](docker.md) as this will work much easier and smoother (also more secure).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If that is not possible, try using the Windows Linux subsystem (WSL) - for which the Ubuntu instructions should work.
|
|||
|
|
Otherwise, try the instructions below.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Install freqtrade manually
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
!!! Note
|
|||
|
|
Make sure to use 64bit Windows and 64bit Python to avoid problems with backtesting or hyperopt due to the memory constraints 32bit applications have under Windows.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
!!! Hint
|
|||
|
|
Using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the [Conda section](#using-conda) in this document for more information.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 1. Clone the git repository
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 2. Install ta-lib
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Install ta-lib according to the [ta-lib documentation](https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib#windows).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), there is also a repository of unofficial precompiled windows Wheels [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib), which needs to be downloaded and installed using `pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.18‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl` (make sure to use the version matching your python version)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```cmd
|
|||
|
|
>cd \path\freqtrade-develop
|
|||
|
|
>python -m venv .env
|
|||
|
|
>.env\Scripts\activate.bat
|
|||
|
|
REM optionally install ta-lib from wheel
|
|||
|
|
REM >pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.18‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl
|
|||
|
|
>pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|||
|
|
>pip install -e .
|
|||
|
|
>freqtrade
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

### Error during installation on Windows
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
``` bash
|
|||
|
|
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unfortunately, many packages requiring compilation don't provide a pre-build wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The easiest way is to download install Microsoft Visual Studio Community [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and make sure to install "Common Tools for Visual C++" to enable building c code on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a heavy download / dependency (~4Gb) so you might want to consider WSL or [docker](docker.md) first.
