# Installation

## Install

```bash
pip install vibetrading
```

All core dependencies are included: `pandas`, `numpy`, `pydantic`, `ccxt`, `litellm`, `ta`, and `python-dotenv`.

## Setup

Set at least one LLM API key for strategy generation and analysis:

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
# or
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
# or
export GEMINI_API_KEY=...
# or
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=...
```

Optional — if you need an HTTPS proxy:

```bash
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890
```

Or put them in a `.env` file in your project root — the package loads it automatically via `python-dotenv`.

## With Exchange Adapters (optional)

Exchange adapters are available as optional extras for live trading integration:

```bash
pip install "vibetrading[hyperliquid]"   # Hyperliquid L1
pip install "vibetrading[extended]"      # X10 Extended (StarkNet)
pip install "vibetrading[paradex]"       # Paradex (StarkNet)
pip install "vibetrading[lighter]"       # Lighter (zkSync Era)
pip install "vibetrading[aster]"         # Aster Protocol

pip install "vibetrading[all]"           # Everything
```
