Freqtrade provides the Linux/MacOS Easy Installation script to install all dependencies and help you configure the bot.
!!! Note
Python3.6 or higher and the corresponding `pip` are assumed to be available. The install-script will warn and stop if that's not the case.
Windows installation is explained [here](#windows).
The easiest way to install and run Freqtrade is to clone the bot GitHub repository and then run the Easy Installation script, if it's available for your platform.
!!! Note "Version considerations"
When cloning the repository the default working branch has the name `develop`. This branch contains all last features (can be considered as relatively stable, thanks to automated tests). The `master` branch contains the code of the last release (done usually once per month on an approximately one week old snapshot of the `develop` branch to prevent packaging bugs, so potentially it's more stable).

Python3.6 or higher and the corresponding `pip` are assumed to be available. The install-script will warn you and stop if that's not the case. `git` is also needed to clone the Freqtrade repository.
