# Windows installation
|
|
|
|
We **strongly** recommend that Windows users use [Docker](docker_quickstart.md) 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.
|
|
Otherwise, please follow the instructions below.
|
|
|
|
All instructions assume that python 3.9+ is installed and available.
|
|
|
|
## Clone the git repository
|
|
|
|
First of all clone the repository by running:
|
|
|
|
``` powershell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, choose your installation method, either automatically via script (recommended) or manually following the corresponding instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Install freqtrade automatically
|
|
|
|
### Run the installation script
|
|
|
|
The script will ask you a few questions to determine which parts should be installed.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
|
|
cd freqtrade
|
|
. .\setup.ps1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install freqtrade manually
|
|
|
|
!!! Note "64bit Python version"
|
|
Please 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.
|
|
32bit python versions are no longer supported under Windows.
|
|
|
|
!!! Hint
|
|
Using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the [Anaconda installation section](installation.md#installation-with-conda) in the documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Install ta-lib
|
|
|
|
Install ta-lib according to the [ta-lib documentation](https://github.com/TA-Lib/ta-lib-python#windows).
|
|
|
|
As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), Freqtrade provides these dependencies (in the binary wheel format) for the latest 3 Python versions (3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12) and for 64bit Windows.
|
|
These Wheels are also used by CI running on windows, and are therefore tested together with freqtrade.
|
|
|
|
Other versions must be downloaded from the above link.
|
|
|
|
``` powershell
|
|
cd \path\freqtrade
|
|
python -m venv .venv
|
|
.venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
|
|
# optionally install ta-lib from wheel
|
|
# Eventually adjust the below filename to match the downloaded wheel
|
|
pip install --find-links build_helpers\ TA-Lib -U
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
pip install -e .
|
|
freqtrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! Note "Use Powershell"
|
|
The above installation script assumes you're using powershell on a 64bit windows.
|
|
Commands for the legacy CMD windows console may differ.
|
|
|
|
### Error during installation on 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-built wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.
|
|
|
|
You can download the Visual C++ build tools from [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/) 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 [docker compose](docker_quickstart.md) first.
