#### 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.
