### Install freqtrade
If that is not possible, try using the Windows Linux subsystem (WSL) - for which the Ubuntu instructions should work.
If that is not available on your system, feel free to try the instructions below, which led to success for some.
### Install freqtrade manually
#### Clone the git repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
```
copy paste `config.json` to ``\path\freqtrade-develop\freqtrade`
#### 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 inofficial 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‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl` (make sure to use the version matching your python version)
```cmd
>cd \path\freqtrade-develop
>python -m venv .env
>cd .env\Scripts
>activate.bat
>cd \path\freqtrade-develop
REM optionally install ta-lib from wheel
REM >pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl
>pip install -r requirements.txt
>pip install -e .
>cd freqtrade
>python main.py
>python freqtrade\main.py
