Install

We recommend using pipx to install cryptik: pipx install cryptik. You can also install via pip: pip install --user cryptik.

cryptik uses a config file to store your setup. This file contains information such as the exchange(s) to use. You can grab the sample config file from cryptik/example/config.toml and place it in ~/.config/cryptik as this is where cryptik looks for the file by default or you can place it anywhere you like and use the --config-file parameter to specify the location.
