+<hr/>
+## Quick start
+Freqtrade provides a Linux/MacOS script to install all dependencies and help you to configure the bot.
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+cd freqtrade
+git checkout develop
+./setup.sh --install
+```
+!!! Note
+    Windows installation is explained [here](/#windows).
+<hr/>
+## Easy Installation - Linux Script
+
+If you are on Debian, Ubuntu or MacOS a freqtrade provides a script to Install, Update, Configure, and Reset your bot.
+
+```bash
+$ ./setup.sh
+usage:
+	-i,--install    Install freqtrade from scratch
+	-u,--update     Command git pull to update.
+	-r,--reset      Hard reset your develop/master branch.
+	-c,--config     Easy config generator (Will override your existing file).
+```
+
+** --install **
+
+This script will install everything you need to run the bot:
+
+* Mandatory software as: `Python3`, `ta-lib`, `wget`
+* Setup your virtualenv
+* Configure your `config.json` file
+
+This script is a combination of `install script` `--reset`, `--config`
+
+** --update **
+
+Update parameter will pull the last version of your current branch and update your virtualenv.
+
+** --reset **
+
+Reset parameter will hard reset your branch (only if you are on `master` or `develop`) and recreate your virtualenv.
+
+** --config **
+
+Config parameter is a `config.json` configurator. This script will ask you questions to setup your bot and create your `config.json`.
+
+------
+
+## 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.
+
+### 1. Prepare the Bot
+
+**1.1. Clone the git repository**
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+```
+
+**1.2. (Optional) Checkout the develop branch**
+
+```bash
+git checkout develop
+```
+
+**1.3. Go into the new directory**
+
+```bash
+cd freqtrade
+```
+
+**1.4. Copy `config.json.example` to `config.json`**
+
+```bash
+cp -n config.json.example config.json
+```
+
+> To edit the config please refer to the [Bot Configuration](/configuration.md) page.
+
+**1.5. Create your database file *(optional - the bot will create it if it is missing)**
+
+Production
+
+```bash
+touch tradesv3.sqlite
+````
+
+Dry-Run
+
+```bash
+touch tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
+```
+
+### 2. Download or build the docker image
+
+Either use the prebuilt image from docker hub - or build the image yourself if you would like more control on which version is used.
+
+Branches / tags available can be checked out on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/tags/).
+
+**2.1. Download the docker image**
+
+Pull the image from docker hub and (optionally) change the name of the image
+
+```bash
+docker pull freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop
+# Optionally tag the repository so the run-commands remain shorter
+docker tag freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop freqtrade
+```
+
+To update the image, simply run the above commands again and restart your running container.
+
+**2.2. Build the Docker image**
+
+```bash
+cd freqtrade
+docker build -t freqtrade .
+```
+
+If you are developing using Docker, use `Dockerfile.develop` to build a dev Docker image, which will also set up develop dependencies:
+
+```bash
+docker build -f ./Dockerfile.develop -t freqtrade-dev .
+```
+
+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 an SQLite database file (see the "5. Run a restartable docker image" section) to keep it between  updates.
+
+### 3. Verify the Docker image
+
+After the build process you can verify that the image was created with:
+
+```bash
+docker images
+```
+
+### 4. Run the Docker image
+
+You can run a one-off container that is immediately deleted upon exiting with the following command (`config.json` must be in the current working directory):
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
+```
+
+There is known issue in OSX Docker versions after 17.09.1, whereby /etc/localtime cannot be shared causing Docker to not start. A work-around for this is to start with the following cmd.
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -e TZ=`ls -la /etc/localtime | cut -d/ -f8-9` -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
+```
+
+More information on this docker issue and work-around can be read [here](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2396).
+
+In this example, the database will be created inside the docker instance and will be lost when you will refresh your image.
+
+### 5. Run a restartable docker image
+
+To run a restartable instance in the background (feel free to place your configuration and database files wherever it feels comfortable on your filesystem).
+
+**5.1. Move your config file and database**
+
+```bash
+mkdir ~/.freqtrade
+mv config.json ~/.freqtrade
+mv tradesv3.sqlite ~/.freqtrade
+```
+
+**5.2. Run the docker image**
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name freqtrade \
+  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
+  freqtrade --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    db-url defaults to `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` but it defaults to `sqlite://` if `dry_run=True` is being used.
+    To override this behaviour use a custom db-url value: i.e.: `--db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`
+
+### 6. Monitor your Docker instance
+
+You can then use the following commands to monitor and manage your container:
+
+```bash
+docker logs freqtrade
+docker logs -f freqtrade
+docker restart freqtrade
+docker stop freqtrade
+docker start freqtrade
+```
+
+For more information on how to operate Docker, please refer to the [official Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/).
+
+!!! Note
+    You do not need to rebuild the image for configuration changes, it will suffice to edit `config.json` and restart the container.
+
+### 7. Backtest with docker
+
+The following assumes that the above steps (1-4) have been completed successfully.
+Also, backtest-data should be available at `~/.freqtrade/user_data/`.
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name freqtrade \
+  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data/ \
+  freqtrade --strategy AwsomelyProfitableStrategy backtesting
+```
+
+Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/backtesting.md) for more details.
+
+!!! Note
+    Additional parameters can be appended after the image name (`freqtrade` in the above example).
+

+
+## Custom Installation
+
+We've included/collected install instructions for Ubuntu 16.04, MacOS, and Windows. These are guidelines and your success may vary with other distros.
+OS Specific steps are listed first, the [Common](#common) section below is necessary for all systems.
+
+### Requirements
+
+Click each one for install guide:
+
+* [Python >= 3.6.x](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/)
+* [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/)
+* [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
+* [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/) (Recommended)
+* [TA-Lib](https://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/install.html)
+
+### Linux - Ubuntu 16.04
+
+#### Install Python 3.6, Git, and wget
+
+```bash
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install python3.6 python3.6-venv python3.6-dev build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config make wget git
+```
+
+#### Raspberry Pi / Raspbian
+
+Before installing FreqTrade on a Raspberry Pi running the official Raspbian Image, make sure you have at least Python 3.6 installed. The default image only provides Python 3.5. Probably the easiest way to get a recent version of python is [miniconda](https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/).
+
+The following assumes that miniconda3 is installed and available in your environment. Last miniconda3 installation file use python 3.4, we will update to python 3.6 on this installation.
+It's recommended to use (mini)conda for this as installation/compilation of `numpy`, `scipy` and `pandas` takes a long time.
+If you have installed it from (mini)conda, you can remove `numpy`, `scipy`, and `pandas` from `requirements.txt` before you install it with `pip`.
+
+Additional package to install on your Raspbian, `libffi-dev` required by cryptography (from python-telegram-bot).
+
+``` bash
+conda config --add channels rpi
+conda install python=3.6
+conda create -n freqtrade python=3.6
+conda activate freqtrade
+conda install scipy pandas numpy
+
+sudo apt install libffi-dev
+python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+python3 -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+### MacOS
+
+#### Install Python 3.6, git and wget
+
+```bash
+brew install python3 git wget
+```
+
+### Common
+
+#### 1. Install TA-Lib
+
+Official webpage: https://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/install.html
+
+```bash
+wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
+tar xvzf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
+cd ta-lib
+sed -i.bak "s|0.00000001|0.000000000000000001 |g" src/ta_func/ta_utility.h
+./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+make
+sudo make install
+cd ..
+rm -rf ./ta-lib*
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    An already downloaded version of ta-lib is included in the repository, as the sourceforge.net source seems to have problems frequently.
+
+#### 2. Setup your Python virtual environment (virtualenv)
+
+!!! Note
+    This step is optional but strongly recommended to keep your system organized
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv .env
+source .env/bin/activate
+```
+
+#### 3. Install FreqTrade
+
+Clone the git repository:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+
+```
+
+Optionally checkout the stable/master branch:
+
+```bash
+git checkout master
+```
+
+#### 4. Initialize the configuration
+
+```bash
+cd freqtrade
+cp config.json.example config.json
+```
+
+> *To edit the config please refer to [Bot Configuration](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/configuration.md).*
+
+#### 5. Install python dependencies
+
+``` bash
+pip3 install --upgrade pip
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+pip3 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.
+
+```bash
+python3.6 ./freqtrade/main.py -c config.json
+```
+
+*Note*: If you run the bot on a server, you should consider using [Docker](#automatic-installation---docker) a terminal multiplexer like `screen` or [`tmux`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmux) to avoid that the bot is stopped on logout.
+
+#### 7. [Optional] 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"
+```
+
+------
+
+## Windows
+
+We recommend that Windows users use [Docker](#docker) as this will work much easier and smoother (also more secure).
+
+If that is not possible, try using the Windows Linux subsystem (WSL) - for which the Ubuntu instructions should work.
+If that is not available on your system, feel free to try the instructions below, which led to success for some.
+
+### Install freqtrade manually
+
+#### Clone the git repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+```
+
+copy paste `config.json` to ``\path\freqtrade-develop\freqtrade`
+
+#### Install ta-lib
+
+Install ta-lib according to the [ta-lib documentation](https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib#windows).
+
+As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), there is also a repository of inofficial precompiled windows Wheels [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib), which needs to be downloaded and installed using `pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl` (make sure to use the version matching your python version)
+
+```cmd
+>cd \path\freqtrade-develop
+>python -m venv .env
+>cd .env\Scripts
+>activate.bat
+>cd \path\freqtrade-develop
+REM optionally install ta-lib from wheel
+REM >pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl
+>pip install -r requirements.txt
+>pip install -e .
+>python freqtrade\main.py
+```
+
+> Thanks [Owdr](https://github.com/Owdr) for the commands. Source: [Issue #222](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues/222)
+
+#### Error during installation under Windows
+
+``` bash
+error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
+```
+
+Unfortunately, many packages requiring compilation don't provide a pre-build wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.
+
+The easiest way is to download install Microsoft Visual Studio Community [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and make sure to install "Common Tools for Visual C++" to enable building c code on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a heavy download / dependency (~4Gb) so you might want to consider WSL or docker first.

+
+Now you have an environment ready, the next step is
