Install Guide

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

Python

PyTrade uses Python 2.7.12. We recommend installing Python from Anaconda Anaconda is the leading open data science platform powered by Python. To download Anaconda, please go to Anaconda download page. HERE

After you have installed Anaconda, you can run the following command in your terminal to install required packages

$ python package_install.py

Then, you can skip the following sections.

TA-Lib

TA-Lib is a Python package that PyTrade uses to perform technical analysis of financial market data.

To install from Anaconda, type the following command into your terminal:

conda install -c quantopian ta-lib=0.4.9

To install from PyPI, type the following command into your terminal:

$ pip install TA-Lib

Or checkout the sources, and type the following command into your terminal:

$ python setup.py install

NumPy

NumPy is a Python package for scientific computations.

To install from Anaconda, type the following command into your terminal:

conda install -c anaconda numpy=1.12.1

To install from a Linux package manager, type the following command into your terminal:

sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib ipython ipython-notebook python-pandas python-sympy python-nose

For other installation methods or other systems, please checkout NumPy Download Page

pandas

To install from Anaconda, type the following command into your terminal:

conda install -c anaconda pandas=0.19.2

To install from PyPI, type the following command into your terminal:

pip install pandas

For other installation methods or other systems, please checkout pandas Download Page

scikit-learn

To install from Anaconda, type the following command into your terminal:

conda install scikit-learn

To install from PyPI, type the following command into your terminal:

pip install -U scikit-learn

For other installation methods or other systems, please checkout scikit-learn Download Page

sqlalchemy

To install from Anaconda, type the following command into your terminal:

conda install -c anaconda sqlalchemy=1.1.9

To install from PyPI, type the following command into your terminal:

pip install SQLAlchemy

For other installation versions, please checkout sqlalchemy Index of Packages

Dependent libraries that must be installed

Since PyTrade's real-time stock data comes from quandl, PyTrade currently relies on a third-party plugin to make API calls.

Download instructions

To download PyTrade, type the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/mpeng8/PyTrade.git

Installation of actual application

PyTrade does not require any additional installation. After you have downloaded PyTrade repository, you are ready to run PyTrade.

Run instructions

To run PyTrade on your localhost server, run the following command in your terminal.

$ python run.py

Troubleshooting

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This typically means that your Python path is not declared. We suggest following the instructions here.

talib/common.c:8:22: fatal error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
#include "pyconfig.h"
^
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

This typically means that you need the Python headers, and should run something like:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev
func.c:256:28: fatal error: ta-lib/ta_libc.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

This typically means that it can't find the underlying TA-Lib library, a dependency which needs to be installed.

Command C:\Python27\python.exe -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c:\\users\\jon\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip_build_jon\\numpy\\setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\jon\appdata\local\temp\pip-qnynnf-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed

--compile failed with error code 1 in c:\users\jon\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_jon\numpyStoring

debug log for failure in C:\Users\jon\pip\pip.log

This typically means that wheel(.whl file) is not supported. You may try run something like:

pip install wheel
pip install numpy‑1.9.1+mkl‑cp27‑none‑win32.whl
Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip_build_reihaneh/sklearn/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-89YQB7-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_reihaneh/sklearn
Storing debug log for failure in /home/reihaneh/.pip/pip.log

If there's error indicating that you don't have gcc when using linux to install numpy, you can do:

apt-get install build-essential python-dev

to install the things that missing for python development.

This typically happens because your install command for scikit-learn is incorrect. Please re-check your install command

For those who are using linux. This means that you are not the root user. So you can try:

 sudo pip install scikit-learn

to install scikit-learn as root user.

I got a 'Woops, there was an error making the request.' message popped out.

This typically means that the third-party plugin is not running correctly. You can just refresh the page.

error: The requested URL returned error: 401 while accessing
https://github.com/mpeng8/PyTrade.git
fatal: HTTP request failed

Note that you need to ensure the remote is correct. The repository you're trying to fetch must exist on GitHub, and the URL is case-sensitive.

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in c:\users[username]\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_[username]\pandas

This is the error you might see when doing pip install pandas. You can try the following steps:

Download the relevant packages from Christoph Gohlke's Python Extension Packages for Windows repository. You'll find the files for pandas here as well as a list of other required dependencies for pandas here.
