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 `stable` 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).

The `stable` 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).
!!! Note
Python3.7 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.
Also, python headers (`python<yourversion>-dev` / `python<yourversion>-devel`) must be available for the installation to complete successfully.
This can be achieved with the following commands:
#### Download Git repository
Use following command
```bash
# Download `develop` branch of freqtrade repository
git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
# Enter downloaded directory
cd freqtrade
# git checkout stable # Optional, see (1)
# your choice (1)
git checkout stable
# your choice (2)
git checkout stable
# install
./setup.sh --install
```
(1) This command switches the cloned repository to the use of the `stable` branch. It's not needed if you wish to stay on the `develop` branch. You may later switch between branches at any time with the `git checkout stable`/`git checkout develop` commands.
