Project Setup

This guide will help you set up the project environment using the provided requirements.txt file.

Prerequisites

• Python installed on your machine.
• A virtual environment (recommended) to keep dependencies isolated.

Setting Up Your Environment

1. Clone the Repository

Clone the repository to your local machine using:

git clone https://github.com/Joshbazz/polymarket_copy_trader.git
cd polymarket_copy_trader

2. Create a Virtual Environment

Create a virtual environment to keep your dependencies isolated:

python -m venv venv
### This will create a directory named venv in your project folder.

3. Activate the Virtual Environment

Activate the virtual environment using the following command:

On Windows:

venv\Scripts\activate

On macOS/Linux:

source venv/bin/activate

4. Install the Required Dependencies

Once your virtual environment is activated, install the required dependencies listed in requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt
## This command will install all the packages and their respective versions specified in the requirements.txt file.

5. Deactivate the Virtual Environment

When you're done working on the project, you can deactivate the virtual environment using:

deactivate

Updating Dependencies

If you add new packages or update existing ones, make sure to update the requirements.txt file with:

pip freeze > requirements.txt
## This will overwrite the old requirements.txt with the current environment's dependencies.
Troubleshooting

Virtual Environment Not Activating: Ensure you are using the correct activation command for your operating system.

Permission Errors: If you encounter permission errors while installing packages, ensure your terminal or command prompt has the necessary permissions or try running it as an administrator (Windows) or with sudo (macOS/Linux).

Dependency Conflicts: If dependencies conflict during installation, consider updating your virtual environment or reviewing the required package versions.
