#### 4. Freqtrade Conda Environment
|

|

|

It is time to setup the working environment of the Freqtrade itself:
|
||||
|
||||
The conda command `create -n` automatically installs all nested dependencies for the selected libraries
|
||||
|
||||
general structure of installation command is:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# choose your own packages
|
||||
conda create -n [name of the environment] [python version] [packages]
|
||||
|
||||
# point to packages in file
|
||||
conda create -n [name of the environment] -f [file]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
so it can be
|
||||
For installig freqtrade with conda, we would use file `environment.yml` which exist in freqtrade directory
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
conda create -n freqtrade-conda python=3.8 pandas numpy ta-lib git wheel virtualenv
|
||||
conda create -n freqtrade-conda -f environment.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or if you expect, to use later jupiter for [data-analysis](data-analysis.md), use
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
conda create -n freqtrade-jupyter-conda python=3.8 pandas numpy ta-lib git wheel virtualenv jupyter
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
the same works: for [docker](docker.md), for spyder and other useful programs.

It may happen that creating a new Conda environment, populated with selected packages at the moment of creation, takes less time than installing a large, heavy dependent, GUI package, into previously set environment. Great example: Spyder

|

##### Enter/exit freqtrade-conda venv:
|
||||
|
||||
to enter choosen conda environment
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
conda activate freqtrade-conda
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
to exit conda environment.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
conda deactivate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Don't do it now however and stay in conda environment.

#### 4. Freqtrade Instalation
|
||||
|
||||
When in `freqtrade-conda` environment, download and install freqtrade. Command `./setup.sh --install`, will take few minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# download freqtrade
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
|
||||
|
||||
# enter downloaded directory 'freqtrade'
|
||||
cd freqtrade
|
||||
|
||||
# run setup
|
||||
./setup.sh --install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create virtual environment (yes, python3-venv environment, inside conda-environment), where Freqtrade program can run.
|
||||
|
||||
Running python3-venv seems to be requirement of the Freqtrade program itself.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# create venv environment, inside hidden directory /freqtrede/.env
|
||||
python3 -m venv ./.env/
|
||||
|
||||
# run the python3-venv environment
|
||||
source ./.env/bin/activate
|
||||
|
||||
# install last required package
|
||||
pip install -e .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### pip install within conda, a reminder:
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation of conda says that pip should NOT be used within conda, because internal problems can occur.

Nevertherless, that is why, the `conda-forge` channel is preferred:

* more libraries are available (less need for `pip`)
