0:00hey guys it's s today I'm going to show
0:02you how to set up Jesse on a brand new
0:04Windows machine for algo trading with
0:06python now you could also use the docker
0:08setup which is the fastest way to get it
0:10started with Jesse but it's not the
0:12fastest way because by using Docker
0:13you're basically running things inside
0:15the virtualization software which can
0:17never beat the speed of a native
0:19installation so let's get right into it
0:21so the first thing that we're going to
0:22need is to set up python itself but
0:24there's this tool called mini condo or
0:26anac condo which is way better than
0:28installing python directly because
0:30because it allows us to create isolated
0:31environments very similar to python
0:33environments but these one are way more
0:35isolated and easier to manage right to
0:37get it I simply Google download
0:39miniconda all right let's accept this
0:41and here it's telling me to go to this
0:43page and here I'm going to click on skip
0:46registration right and the first one is
0:47the installer for anondo which is the
0:50same thing as minondo except it has a
0:52GUI a user interface which I don't
0:54really want so I'm going to scroll down
0:56to reach the miniconda installer and
0:59download this one for your Windows
1:00machine I already did this so I'm just
1:02going to install it from here press next
1:05agree just me next because I don't want
1:07to install python separately on my
1:09machine I'm also going to check this
1:11option and also this one all right so
1:13when it's done click on the next button
1:15one more time and let's uncheck this and
1:18this all right next I need to install
1:21red on Windows but the bad news is that
1:23there isn't R installer directly for
1:26Windows however we can do that using the
1:28WSL for Windows which is how you can run
1:31a Linux machine inside your Windows
1:33machine now to do that I'm going to
1:34search for Powershell and I need to run
1:37this as administrator so right click on
1:40it and press run as administrator say
1:42yes let's make this bigger and in here
1:44I'm going to have to paste this content
1:46now by the way in case you don't have it
1:48for this next part we need this text
1:50inside the Powershell so let's copy
1:52it go back to the powers shell all right
1:55let's press enter it's asking us to
1:57restart the computer to complete the
1:59oper ation press enter and wait until
2:02the machine comes up again all right now
2:03that the system is up again open the
2:05Microsoft store Look up the word Ubuntu
2:07and we have different versions of 1 two
2:09but I want to go with 1 220 and here
2:12simply press the button get all right
2:14now that is done let's click on the open
2:16button and here is our open to machine
2:18it says press any key to continue and
2:21here it says press any key to install
2:23Windows sub system okay press yes and
2:25again it is downloading something all
2:27right so at this point again we need to
2:29press one key to reboot the system so
2:32let's restart everything one more time
2:34all right now let's open wuntu and we
2:36need to wait again until it finishes the
2:39installation all right so it's asking me
2:41for a username which I will simply say
2:43Sol and for password I will enter my
2:47password and then I will repeat the
2:49password and we are in our open to
2:51machine now all right now we can begin
2:52installing Ries for that I'm going to
2:54say pseudo app get update and it is
2:57asking for my password all right next
2:59I'm I'm going to say PSE
3:01sudo appg
3:05upgrade and press
3:07enter all right let's clear this and now
3:10finally we can install red Itself by
3:12simply saying sud sudo app get install
3:17redis server hit yes all right to make
3:20sure everything worked I'm going to say
3:22redis
3:25c-v and we can see the version all right
3:27now every time that you want to run you
3:30need to run the This Server and to do
3:32that simply open the open to interface
3:34and run red
3:36server click on allow and if you see
3:38this page it means it's working you can
3:40also see the port that is is running in
3:42and all the other info all right so I'm
3:44going to minimize this and by the way
3:46you need to keep it open all right so I
3:47shouldn't completely close it but I will
3:49keep it there all right next we need to
3:51download the poster SQL which is the
3:53main database that Jessi uses to do that
3:55open this URL which will get you here
3:57and click on the download the installer
3:59now from here you can download any
4:01version that we support now we usually
4:02support all the newer versions of bql so
4:05I don't think it really matters which
4:06version you set up but right now I'm
4:08going to go with version 17 I already
4:10downloaded this before so I'm just going
4:11to open it
4:13here press yes click on the next button
4:16next now I can safely uncheck these two
4:20options but make sure to keep the other
4:21two press next next now the password you
4:24enter here is really important because
4:26it's the one we're going to need later
4:28in order to create a table for suggested
4:30to use now to keep it simple because
4:32this is running locally I can simply set
4:34something like
4:36password click on next the default Port
4:38is fine next next and next click on
4:41finish now that the setup is done we
4:43need to add postore SQL to the path of
4:45our Windows environment now in case you
4:47don't know what it means it means that
4:48we need to make sure that our CMD or The
4:51Terminal that we are using inside
4:53windows will recognize the postl command
4:55now to do that go to the search bar and
4:57enter EnV so you can see this page click
5:00on environment variables the default is
5:02set on path click on edit now here you
5:04can see the things that are already
5:05added for example we earlier set up
5:07manyonda and if you remember our
5:09terminal did recognize the cond command
5:11and that's because we already have it
5:13inside the path all right now that I
5:14need to add a new one I'm going to click
5:16on browse and from here I need to open
5:19my postcore SQL installation which is on
5:21this PC C drive program files POC SQL
5:25and the bin folder is the one that we
5:27want click on okay and now you can see
5:28it being added here here click on okay
5:30and one more time and one more time all
5:32right now open the search bar and look
5:34for CMD and now if I run the psql
5:38command and D- version CM version 17 so
5:42that means it is indeed recognizing the
5:44psql command all right so for this next
5:46part I need to copy and paste the
5:48commands for creating a new table and
5:51database and username for Jesse now for
5:53that just scroll down to this section on
5:55our documentation again you can find it
5:57on this URL or just simply go to to the
5:59environment setup the windows section
6:01post SC SQL and scroll down to this page
6:04all right so I open them side by side so
6:06you can see it easier so let's so let's
6:08copy this first line paste it here all
6:10right so it's asking for password now
6:12remember this is the password that we
6:14said earlier the one that I told you it
6:15is really important and I simply set it
6:17to password so I'm going to type
6:20password all right so I entered it
6:22incorrectly let's do it again
6:25password and we are in all right so
6:27let's copy this First Command which will
6:29create the dat database again on Windows
6:30you need to press right click to paste
6:33on this window and sometimes control and
6:35V doesn't work
6:37lastly back slash Q to exit all right
6:40now that we have everything to run Jesse
6:42go to the installation part and you will
6:44see the commands for creating a new
6:46Jesse project but before we create our
6:48project we need to set up Jesse itself
6:50which is what we haven't done yet so for
6:51that we can simply say pip inst install
6:53Jesse one more time open the CMD all
6:56right now we are ready to set up our
6:58cond environment for Jess so that we can
7:00install j itself and all the required P
7:02packages so for that I'm going to say
7:04cond
7:06create and then I will pass a name and
7:08it could be anything it could be for
7:10example Jesse or it could be but and
7:13next I will pass the python version and
7:16I will choose 3.12 now we already do
7:19support python 3.13 however Sometimes
7:22some packages don't play nice so for
7:24that reason I think it's best to go with
7:25version 3.12 for now all right hit enter
7:30it's asking me to set up these packages
7:32press yes now one really great thing
7:34about the condo environments is that
7:36each and every single one that you
7:37create is totally separated from the
7:40others and I know this sounds like the
7:41regular python environments but in my
7:44experience cond environments work way
7:46better and I never experienced any
7:47issues with them not only that they also
7:49allow us to have multiple versions of
7:50python which is really helpful all right
7:52now that that is over to activate it we
7:54should run cond activate and then the
7:57name of the environment which I said but
8:00now remember you need to do this every
8:02single time that you open a new CMD tab
8:04or for example when you restart your
8:06computer and you want to start JC again
8:08hit enter all right now if I say pip D-
8:13version I can see the version it is
8:15pointing to which firstly it says
8:17miniconda and also the name of the
8:20environment is but and here is the
8:21version of the Python all right now
8:23first I will say python install scon
8:27which is a package that we need to have
8:29for some other packages to be able to
8:31build all right finally I should be able
8:33to install Jesse Itself by saying pip
8:36install Jesse and we're done now to make
8:40sure Jesse is installed correctly I'm
8:41going to run Jesse D- version and we can
8:44see it being installed correctly all
8:46right now the next step is to create our
8:48Jesse project which is where our
8:50strategies and project files will be
8:52let's clean this now for this next part
8:54it could be anywhere on your computer
8:56but I'm going to go to the desktop now
8:58open the documentation
8:59now now that we have done this step
9:01which is to install Jesse itself we're
9:03ready to create our first Jesse project
9:06and you can find the commands for that
9:07here now here's the command to do that
9:09using git however not every computer
9:11already has git installed so let's copy
9:13this paste it here and run it and you
9:15see it is not recognizing the git
9:17command because I don't have git
9:18installed on my machine now you could
9:20install git which is a very helpful use
9:22for developers but if you only need it
9:24for doing this you don't have to you can
9:26instead go to Jess's GitHub repository
9:28you can find find the link on our
9:30documentation from here and go to the
9:32main organization find the project
9:34template and here you can download this
9:36as a zip file so again you can either
9:38use git by fishing it directly using
9:41this command or you can download it as a
9:42zip file now I'm going to download it
9:44from here let's open it now here's a
9:46project and I'm going to copy it and go
9:49to my C drive and paste it here next I'm
9:51going to rename it into my butt but this
9:54could be anything that you want all
9:55right now let's open the CMD
9:59I'm going to first activate my cond
10:01environment by saying cond activate but
10:04and then I need to go inside the project
10:06for that I'm going to say CD the C
10:10drive and here I can see the mybot
10:13project that I made for myself so let's
10:16go inside it and here are the contents
10:19of my project all right next I need to
10:22copy and create that MV file for my
10:24project we can do that by saying copy.
10:26env. example and then EnV now I already
10:30did this before that's why I'm getting
10:31this error but you shouldn't see
10:34it all right now we need to edit the
10:36files inside the project for that we're
10:38going to need a code editor now the one
10:39I suggest you install if you don't
10:41already have one is called vs code which
10:44is free and open source so just Google
10:46download V code and you should be good
10:48to go but I already have it installed so
10:50I'm going to open it next I need to open
10:52my project C drive and here's my project
10:55select folder yes I trust the project
10:58and here are the of my project now open
11:00the NV file that we just created and
11:02here's the thing these values for po SQL
11:05and redis have been set for usage with
11:08Docker but we are not using Docker in
11:10this video so we are installing
11:11everything natively to get the maximum
11:13speed so you need to comment this line
11:16and uncomment this one and also do the
11:18same for red now by the way whichever
11:20password we set here is going to be the
11:22password for the dashboard which we're
11:24going to open in a second all right so
11:25open the file by pressing contrl and S
11:28and now to run Jesse itself all I need
11:30to do while I'm inside the project again
11:32if you want to check to see whether you
11:33are in the project or not just run the
11:35DI command and I can see the files of my
11:38project that's how I know I am indeed
11:40inside it so run the Jesse run command
11:43but before you do this make sure you are
11:45indeed inside the cond environment that
11:48you made for it so for example if I
11:50create a new one let's say you restarted
11:52your computer and go to my
11:58project now now if I run this command
12:00here I'm going to get J is not
12:03recognized as internal or external
12:05command now why is that because if I run
12:07the P list command you can see that
12:09Jesse is not installed here because we
12:11install Jesse inside our Honda
12:13environment called but so before you do
12:15that run
12:16Honda activate butt right now I already
12:20have that in this Windows press enter at
12:24the first time you run this it might
12:26take a while but the other times are
12:28going to be super fast
12:29now I have to stop this because I made
12:31one mistake and that is I accidentally
12:33closed the Ubuntu which was running red
12:36so and remember I said you need to keep
12:37that window open so let's open ubun 2
12:40again and run red
12:43server now let's minimize this and here
12:47I'm going to run justu run one more
12:50time all right if you see this page
12:53click on allow and we should be able to
12:55use yes now now we need to open this URL
12:57go to your browser and and now we can
13:00enter 0000 as the message was indicating
13:03but we can also run Local Host and then
13:07double colon and then enter the port
13:10which was 9,000 all right so if you see
13:12this window everything's working fine
13:14now remember the password inside the MV
13:16file it was test so let's enter it here
13:19and we are in now to make sure
13:20everything is working fine go to the
13:22import candles page let's select BTC and
13:26change this to the beginning of 2025 and
13:28click on the import button and if you
13:30see this working then everything's
13:32working fine now I'm going to press
13:33cancel all right so everything's working
13:35great now now I'm going to show you a
13:36couple of tips all right so firstly how
13:38should you update your Jess installation
13:40in the future so to do that now by the
13:41way you can stop Jessi by pressing
13:43control and C now to update your J
13:45installation in the future when I
13:47release a new version while you are
13:49inside the correct cond environment and
13:52again you can ensure that by seeing the
13:53name of the environment here simply run
13:55pip in so Jesse but this time to update
13:59it we need to pass Dash and then
14:01uppercase U right and then press enter
14:04now I'm already running the latest
14:05version so nothing's going to happen but
14:07here's the thing sometimes I don't know
14:09why this is an issue with python when I
14:11run this command it doesn't work the
14:13first time I mean it shows that
14:14everything is updated but then when I
14:17check the version by passing jc--
14:20version I can see that the version
14:22hasn't been updated so but when I do it
14:25again it works fine so just in case when
14:27you run it check for the version by
14:29running this command and if it's not
14:30saying the latest version then just run
14:32that command one more time all right so
14:34this was one thing now the other thing I
14:35want you to know is that inside the NV
14:38file we also have this value for license
14:40API token now if you are a premium user
14:43of JC you need to generate an API token
14:46from this URL and enter it here and then
14:49to make sure it works come here and run
14:52the Jess run command one more time and
14:54this time by the way notice that it
14:55started instantly this time and this
14:57time when you go inside the
14:59dashboard and give it a refresh when you
15:01go here instead of seeing the word guest
15:04you should see premium PL or something
15:06similar to that if you see it it means
15:07it's working now another thing I want to
15:09show you is that if you have an API
15:12token the one that I just described
15:14again the one you generate at this URL
15:16and enter here if you have that and you
15:18want to install Jess's live trading
15:21plugin what you need to do is to come to
15:23this page and run Jesse install life now
15:29I'm getting this error because my API
15:31key token value is empty but if you
15:33integrate there it should go just fine
15:35all right so there's that but the last
15:37thing I want to show you is the vs code
15:39itself so you can find the strategies
15:41from this folder and by default we have
15:43one example of strategy so let's Zoom
15:45this a bit now you can see it is
15:47recommending to install this extension
15:49for python I'm going to close it because
15:51I want to show it myself now you see we
15:53have everything here but we don't
15:55exactly have all to complete so for
15:57instance if I here say ta do which is
16:01this module for technical indicators in
16:03Jesse which I have indeed imported here
16:06I don't see any suggestions to enable
16:09that go to the extension section of vs
16:11code and look the word python now this
16:15first one which has a lot of
16:17installation and has been released by
16:18Microsoft is the one that we want just
16:20click on install all right so if you see
16:23this window it means that it is
16:25installed successfully and if I click on
16:27it I can see the disable button and
16:29uninstall which means it's working
16:31there's also this really cool extension
16:33for python called pyland but if I go
16:35into it you can see it's already
16:37installed and that's because this
16:38package already installed this for me
16:40but just in case look it up go into it
16:42and make sure it is also enabled all
16:44right so if I go back to the strategy
16:46code now and press dot button one more
16:49time you can see it's still not working
16:52but it is giving me an error this time
16:54right so that's a good sign now why is
16:56that well here's the thing we have
16:59multiple cond environments and remember
17:01each cond environment can have its own
17:04python version so we need a way to tell
17:06V code which python to use now to do
17:09that we can click on this select
17:11interpreter button and choose the right
17:14one now I have one called but and one
17:17called base and this one and but is the
17:21environment that we made for our project
17:23so I will select that give it a moment
17:25and I can see the name of it here and
17:28now if I remove this press the dot one
17:31more time I can see a complete list of
17:33the indicators that we support such as
17:35the EMA the Ballinger bands or whatever
17:38and also I can see the parameters that
17:40are accepted for each function so you
17:43don't have to have the documentation
17:45open all the time which is really cool
17:47all right next it's also a good idea to
17:48set up some AI tools such as GitHub
17:52copil it which will help you edit the
17:54code faster or it will give you
17:56autocomplete and things like that but
17:58there are so many options for that out
18:00there in fact I might make a video just
18:01about the tools that are out there for
18:03this purpose all right guys I hope you
18:05enjoyed this video and it helps you set
18:06up your own Jesse environment on your
18:08Windows machine thanks for watching and
18:10I'll see you in the next one
