Getting Started with OpenAlgo

Installation Procedure

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following:

• Visual Studio Code (VS Code) installed on Windows.
• Python version 3.10 or 3.11 installed.
• Git for cloning the repository (Download from https://git-scm.com/downloads).

Setup

1. Install VS Code Extensions: Open VS Code, navigate to the Extensions section on the left tab, and install the Python, Pylance, and Jupyter extensions.
2. Clone the Repository: Open the VS Code Terminal and clone the OpenAlgo repository with the command:

git clone https://github.com/marketcalls/openalgo

3. Install Dependencies:

Windows users Navigate to the directory where OpenAlgo is cloned and execute:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Linux/Nginx users Navigate to the directory where OpenAlgo is cloned and execute: pip install -r requirements-nginx.txt

to install the necessary Python libraries.

4. Configure Environment Variables:

Rename the .sample.env file located in openalgo folder to .env

Update the .env with your specific configurations as shown in the provided template.

5. Run the Application:

From the openalgo directory, start the Flask application with the command:

python app.py

If you are using nginx it is recommded to execute using gunicorn with eventlet or gevent (in this app we are using eventlet).
gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 app:app

In case of running using Gunicorn, -w 1 specifies that you should only use one worker process. This is important because WebSocket connections are persistent and stateful; having more than one worker would mean that a user could be switched between different workers, which would break the connection.

Accessing OpenAlgo

After completing the setup, access the OpenAlgo platform by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your web browser. Setup the account using http://127.0.0.1:5000/setup Login into openalgo with the credentials and start using OpenAlgo for Automation.
