Setup

If you don't have a Robinhood account, sign up for Robinhood. It is a free stock trading platform. Use my referral link to sign up and get one free stock :)

Before you begin, make sure you have Python3 installed. Robinhood shell only works with python3. Some of the functionality is broken on python2.7

  1. Download Robinhood Shell by downloading the zip file (link) OR by using git
git clone https://github.com/anilshanbhag/RobinhoodShell.git

cd RobinhoodShell
  1. Install the dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Create and save your username/password in the config file
cp config.py.sample config.py
# Edit config.py - replace username/password with your real username/password
# Set CHALLENGE_TYPE = 'sms' or 'email' depending on how you want to do 2FA

You are good to go. Start the shell by

chmod +x shell.py
./shell.py
