#### Set of Notes

Freqtrade provides the Linux/MacOS `./setup.sh` script to install all dependencies and help you configure the bot.

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 `./sectup.sh` 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).

!!! Warning "Up-to-date clock"
|
||||
The clock on the system running the bot must be accurate, synchronized to a NTP server frequently enough to avoid problems with communication to the exchanges.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Freqtrade repository
|
||||
|
||||
Freqtrade is an open source cryptocurrency trading bot, whose code is hosted on `github.com`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Download `develop` branch of freqtrade repository
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
|
||||
|
||||
# Enter downloaded directory
|
||||
cd freqtrade
|
||||
|
||||
# your choice (1)
|
||||
git checkout stable
|
||||
|
||||
# your choice (2)
|
||||
git checkout develop
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(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 (2) `develop` branch.
|
||||
|
||||
You may later switch between branches at any time with the `git checkout stable`/`git checkout develop` commands.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Notes to /setup.sh script (Linux/MacOS)
|
||||
|
||||
If you are on Debian, Ubuntu or MacOS Freqtrade provides the script to install, update, configure and reset the codebase of your bot.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
usage:
|
||||
# Install freqtrade from scratch
|
||||
./setup.sh -i,--install
|
||||
|
||||
# Command git pull to update.
|
||||
./setup.sh -u,--update
|
||||
|
||||
# Hard reset your develop/stable branch.
|
||||
./setup.sh -r,--reset
|
||||
|
||||
# Easy config generator (Will override your existing file).
|
||||
./setup.sh -c,--config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
** --install **
|
||||
|
||||
With this option, the script will install the bot and most dependencies:
|
||||
You will need to have git and python3.7+ installed beforehand for this to work.
|
||||
|
||||
* Mandatory software as: `ta-lib`
|
||||
* Setup your virtualenv under `.env/`
|
||||
|
||||
This option is a combination of installation tasks, `--reset` and `--config`.
|
||||
|
||||
** --update **
|
||||
|
||||
This option will pull the last version of your current branch and update your virtualenv. Run the script with this option periodically to update your bot.
|
||||
|
||||
** --reset **
|
||||
|
||||
This option will hard reset your branch (only if you are on either `stable` or `develop`) and recreate your virtualenv.
|
||||
|
||||
** --config **
|
||||
|
||||
DEPRECATED - use `freqtrade new-config -c config.json` instead.
