cd vnpy
python setup.py install

You will probably face issues with TA-lib. Try to use one of versions listed here. Download wheel package, go to folder and run pip install. For example:

pip install TA_Lib-0.4.17-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

Another known issue is installation of rqdatac

You can install it manually with pip:

python -m pip install https://pip.vnpy.com/colletion/rqdatac-2.1.0.tar.gz

run

It always good to start with examples.

• Start full featured UI

python examples/vn_trader/run.py

• Run strategy backtest without UI

python examples/cta_backtesting/sample.py

other docs

Translation from Chinese was made by Google Translate and it's not perfect. Due to changes of original package something might not work. This will be solved in feature releases
