Here's a script that encapsulates the steps outlined above:
#!/bin/bash
# Step 1: Install Python
# If Python is not installed, download and install it from https://www.python.org/downloads/
# Step 2: Create a Virtual Environment
python3 -m venv env
# Step 3: Activate the Virtual Environment
source env/bin/activate
# Step 4: Install Required Libraries
pip install pandas numpy scikit-learn yfinance TA-Lib
# Step 5: Create a Python File
touch trading_bot.py
# Step 6: Copy the Code
# Open trading_bot.py in your preferred text editor and paste the Python code provided
# Step 7: Run the Script
python trading_bot.py
# Step 8: Deactivate the Virtual Environment (Optional)
deactivate
Save this script as setup_trading_bot.sh
in your project directory. Then, open Terminal, navigate to your project directory, and run the following command to make the script executable:
chmod +x setup_trading_bot.sh
Now you can run the script by executing:
./setup_trading_bot.sh
This script automates the setup process, making it easier to get started with the trading bot in a new Python project on macOS. Remember to customize the trading_bot.py
file with the Python code provided earlier.
