🛠️ Installation

Production Installation

# Install with pipx (recommended)
pipx install bitfinex-maker-kit

# Configure API credentials
echo 'BITFINEX_API_KEY=your_api_key_here' > .env
echo 'BITFINEX_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here' >> .env

Development Installation

Recommended: One-Command Setup (solves externally-managed-environment errors)

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/0xferit/bitfinex-maker-kit.git
cd bitfinex-maker-kit

# One-command setup (creates venv + installs everything)
make setup

# Activate virtual environment (if not already active)
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Verify installation
make quality          # Run all quality checks
pytest               # Run tests

Alternative: Using pipx (for tool installation)

# Install as isolated application
pipx install git+https://github.com/0xferit/bitfinex-maker-kit.git

# For development
git clone https://github.com/0xferit/bitfinex-maker-kit.git
cd bitfinex-maker-kit
pipx install -e .

Manual Installation (if virtual environment setup fails)

# Option 1: Force install (not recommended)
pip install -e ".[dev]" --break-system-packages

# Option 2: User install
pip install -e ".[dev]" --user

# Option 3: Traditional virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pre-commit install

💡 Troubleshooting "externally-managed-environment" Error:

• Modern Python/macOS: Use virtual environment (recommended above)
• System Python: Use pipx for isolated installation
• Docker: Use the provided Dockerfile for containerized development

⚠️ Risk Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: Trading cryptocurrency involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets may result in significant financial losses. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources.

• Test First: Always use --dry-run mode before live trading
• Start Small: Begin with minimal position sizes
• Monitor Closely: Actively supervise automated strategies
• Risk Management: Never trade more than you can afford to lose
