<p>We <strong>strongly</strong> recommend that Windows users use <a href="../docker_quickstart/">Docker</a> as this will work much easier and smoother (also more secure).</p>
<p>If that is not possible, try using the Windows Linux subsystem (WSL) - for which the Ubuntu instructions should work.
Otherwise, try the instructions below.</p>

<p>Make sure to use 64bit Windows and 64bit Python to avoid problems with backtesting or hyperopt due to the memory constraints 32bit applications have under Windows.</p>

<p>Using the <a href="https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/">Anaconda Distribution</a> under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the <a href="../installation/#Anaconda">Anaconda installation section</a> in this document for more information.</p>

<p>Install ta-lib according to the <a href="https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib#windows">ta-lib documentation</a>.</p>
<p>As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), there is also a repository of unofficial pre-compiled windows Wheels <a href="https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib">here</a>, which need to be downloaded and installed using <code>pip install TA_Lib-0.4.24-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl</code> (make sure to use the version matching your python version).</p>
<p>Freqtrade provides these dependencies for the latest 3 Python versions (3.8, 3.9 and 3.10) and for 64bit Windows.
Other versions must be downloaded from the above link.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, many packages requiring compilation don't provide a pre-built wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.</p>
<p>You can download the Visual C++ build tools from <a href="https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/">here</a> and install "Desktop development with C++" in it's default configuration. Unfortunately, this is a heavy download / dependency so you might want to consider WSL2 or <a href="../docker_quickstart/">docker compose</a> first.</p>
