|
||||
## Easy installation
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
## Automatic Installation - Docker
|
||||
|
||||
Start by downloading Docker for your platform:
|
||||
- [Mac](https://www.docker.com/products/docker#/mac)
|
||||
- [Windows](https://www.docker.com/products/docker#/windows)
|
||||
- [Linux](https://www.docker.com/products/docker#/linux)
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have Docker installed, simply create the config file
|
||||
(e.g. `config.json`) and then create a Docker image for `freqtrade`
|
||||
using the Dockerfile in this repo.
|
||||

```
|
||||
4. Copy `config.sample` to `config.json`
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.4. Copy `config.json.example` to `config.json`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|

```
|
||||
To edit the config please refer to the [Bot Configuration](https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/configuration.md) page
|
||||
5. Create your DB file (Optional, the bot will create it if it is missing)
|
||||
|
||||
> To edit the config please refer to the [Bot Configuration](https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/configuration.md) page.

#### 1.5. Create your database file *(optional - the bot will create it if it is missing)*
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# For Production
|
||||
touch tradesv3.sqlite
|
||||
|
||||

For security reasons, your configuration file will not be included in the
|

image, you will need to bind mount it. It is also advised to bind mount
|

a sqlite database file (see the "5. Run a restartable docker image"
|
||||
section) to keep it between updates.

|
||||
### 2.3. MacOS installation
|
||||
Clone the git repository:
|
||||
|
||||
**2.3.1. Install Python 3.6, git and wget**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
brew install python3 git wget

#### 5. Configure `freqtrade` as a `systemd` service
|
||||
|
||||
From the freqtrade repo... copy `freqtrade.service` to your systemd user directory (usually `~/.config/systemd/user`) and update `WorkingDirectory` and `ExecStart` to match your setup.
|
||||
|
||||
After that you can start the daemon with:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
systemctl --user start freqtrade
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For this to be persistent (run when user is logged out) you'll need to enable `linger` for your freqtrade user.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER"
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## 3. Clone the repo
|
||||
The following steps are made for Linux/mac environment
|
||||
1. Clone the git `git clone https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade.git`
|
||||
2. (Optional) Checkout the develop branch `git checkout develop`
|
||||
#### 3. Install FreqTrade
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Prepare the bot
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd freqtrade
|
||||
cp config.json.example config.json

## 5. Setup your virtual env
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3.6 -m venv .env
|
||||
source .env/bin/activate
|
||||
pip3.6 install -r requirements.txt

||||
pip3.6 install -e .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Run the bot
|
||||
If this is the first time you run the bot, ensure you are running it
|
||||
in Dry-run `"dry_run": true,` otherwise it will start to buy and sell coins.
|
||||
Clone the git repository:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3.6 ./freqtrade/main.py -c config.json
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade.git
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Linux
|
||||
**systemd service file**
|
||||
Copy `./freqtrade.service` to your systemd user directory (usually `~/.config/systemd/user`)
|
||||
and update `WorkingDirectory` and `ExecStart` to match your setup.
|
||||
After that you can start the daemon with:
|
||||
Optionally checkout the develop branch:
