Superalgos is not just another open-source project. We are an open and welcoming community devised, nurtured, and incentivized with the project's native Superalgos (SA) token to grow into a massive trading collaboration. You will notice the difference as soon as you join the Telegram Community Group or the new Discord Server.

Superalgos is the ultimate market research and trading automation platform. The software is contributor-centric, built by contributors, for contributors. It is also free and open-source. Can't wait to contribute? No need to wait! You may start by giving a star to this repository in the top-right corner of this page!

All procedures are the same for Windows, Linux, or Mac OS. Raspberry Pi terminal commands have been included for ease of use.

IMPORTANT: Remote installations and minimalist hardware —both virtual and physical— are better suited for production deployments, where the use of the GUI is minimal. We highly recommend learning Superalgos in a local installation. Mastering the system takes time, and the use of the GUI to go through in-app tutorials is crucial during the learning process. Your experience will be orders of magnitude better if you follow this advice: leave remote installations and minimalist hardware for when you are ready to start trading live.

If you don't have it yet, download and install Node.js.

Node JS is an open-source server environment required to run Superalgos.

A. Go to the Node JS download page.

B. Download your system’s installer. Select LTS Recommended for Most Users and click the big Windows or macOS Installer button. If you are on Linux, the installer is listed further down the page.

C. Run the installer with the default configuration — just click Next until Node.JS is fully installed. That's it! You can continue with step 2 (Git Installation).

NODE JS INSTALLATION FOR RASPBERRY PI USERS

You may install Node.JS just like you would on any other machine as per the above instructions. As an alternative, you may also try the following from the SSH Terminal.

NOTE: It is best to use the most current and updated version of the FULL PiOS image.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -

Followed by:

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

It is also required to install the Node Package Manager for dependancy management.

sudo apt install npm

You may also type the following to verify Node.js and NPM installation and version.

node -v

npm -v 

Download and install Git.

Git is an open-source distributed version control system required to download and stay up to date with Superalgos.

A. Go to the Git download page.

B. Download the version for your Operating System.

C. Run the installer with the default configuration — just click Next until Git is fully installed.

IMPORTANT: The latest version of Git is required to handle the authentication with GitHub.com.

NOTE FOR MAC USERS: Depending on your setup, installing Git may be optional. The native XCode Command Line Developer Tools seems to work well. If you do install Git, we have tested Tim Harper's binary installer successfully.

GIT INSTALLATION FOR RASPBERRY PI USERS

Just like with Node.JS, you may follow the above instructions to install Git, or use the SSH Terminal command. The most recent version of PiOS has Git already installed, so this may give you an error. The error will not affect your installation.

sudo apt-get install git

Use Chrome, or Safari on Mac. These are the only tested browsers.

A. Go to the Chrome download page.

B. Run the installer.

Before you begin, it is recommended that you set up Chrome/Safari as your default browser.

IMPORTANT: Use Chrome/Safari so that you have a similar environment as the dev team in case you need help. We are not testing on any other browsers, and it is a well-known fact that browsers behave differently.

A. Scroll the page all the way to the top. Find and click the Fork button to create your fork/copy of this repository. To fork Superalgos you need a Github account. If you don't have one, go ahead and create it.

NOTE: A Fork is required for your contributions to the project. The reason why Superalgos is free and open-source is that the project has set up a Collective Business in which all users may participate. The way to participate is to contribute to make Superalgos better. The project's token is distributed among contributors.

A. Once the fork is created, you will land on the page of your fork. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

B. In your computer/laptop/server, open a command prompt or terminal. Make sure you are in a directory where you have write permissions (on most systems the terminal will open in your user’s home directory, so you’re good). Clone the git repository using the command:

git clone <URL of your Superalgos fork>

For example, if your Github username is John, the command will look like this:

git clone https://github.com/John/Superalgos

This creates the Superalgos folder in the current directory, which contains the whole installation.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you are running an updated version of node greater than version 12 and npm greater than version 5. You can check which version you have by typing node -v and npm -v into a command prompt or terminal. If your version numbers are below these, you can update your installation by following the instructions outlined in the "Node JS Installation" step above.

A. After the Superalgos directory has been installed, the final step of installation is to set up the necessary node dependencies.

B. In the same command prompt or terminal you just used, type the following command:

node setup

Then wait until you are able to type within the terminal again.

This command will install and configure all additional dependencies needed by Superalgos. It will also install desktop and start menu shortcuts.

NOTE FOR USERS INSTALLING MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF SUPERALGOS ON THE SAME MACHINE: In order to avoid name conflicts between shortcuts, make sure to rename each Superalgos directory before running node setup.

Congratulations your installation is complete!

The Usage section below explains how to run the app.

DEPENDENCY INSTALLATION FOR RASPBERRY PI USERS

As noted above, running node setup installs GUI shortcuts by default. To suppress this behavior in headless installations, add the noShortcuts flag as follows:

node setup noShortcuts

A. You need to make a fork so that you may contribute work. Superalgos is a Community project and you are expected to contribute, like everyone else. You don't need to be a technical person to contribute. Fixing a typo in the docs or translating a paragraph into your native language are valuable contributions too. Superalgos has built-in features that make contributing easy. Help make Superalgos better and Superalgos will better serve you! Free-riding is not cool, particularly on free, open-source, Community-driven projects.

B. The software includes an in-app self-update command / feature. It will help you stay up-to-date with the latest version of the software. Updates are on-demand, so don't worry about undesired updates. The project moves very fast and new features become available regularly, particularly if you choose to run the software in the develop branch (you may switch branches from within the app).

C. It is a good idea to perodically run the node setup command to keep the underlying dependencies for your Superalgos installation up to date.

D. Before installing the client on a remote computer in an attempt to access the UI from a different machine, we highly recommend you do a standard installation on your PC / laptop first. Leave your Raspberry Pi or VPS for later, once you have done all available tutorials. This single tip will save you a lot of time: you don't need to add complexity before you learn how to handle the app, and the GUI performs best in a local installation.

IMPORTANT: Superalgos no longer contains the node dependencies needed to run within this repository. Follow these steps to make sure your installation updates correctly.

A. Check to make sure you are running an updated version of node greater than version 12 and npm greater than version 5. You can check which version you have by typing node -v and npm -v into a command prompt or terminal. If your version numbers are below these, you can update your installation by following the instructions outlined in the "Node JS Installation" step above.

B. Launch your old Superalgos instance and run app.update to gather the Beta 10 update.

C. Then close the UI and shutdown the Client.

D. Open a fresh terminal or command prompt and navigate to your Superalgos directory.

E. Enter the following command:

node setup

Then wait until you are able to type within the terminal again.

NOTE FOR USERS RUNNING IN HEADLESS ENVIRONMENT: You will need to add the noShortcuts flag while running node setup to suppress installing GUI shortcuts. To do this type:

node setup noShortcuts

In order to migrate your workspaces to Beta 10, you will need to open My-Workspaces folder with an IDE like VS Code and do some refactorings. The following refactoring has been done over the codebase and all plugins of every type. For your workspaces to be ported, you will need to refactor the contents of your My-Workspaces folder and any plugins of your own as well.

Your refactoring needs to include Folder Names. You will find several folders to rename at the Data-Storage folder structure. Because of the changes derived from splitting the Master Data Mine into several different Data Mines, you will probably need to reprocess all your indicators.

An easy way to deal with all this is to:

1. Delete the Log-Files folder.
2. At Data Storage, delete all except Masters / Exchange Raw Data and Masters / Candles Volumes. This will prevent you from downloading all data again and building all candles agains, which is the most time consuming process. The rest of the indicators you can then reprocess.

A. To run Superalgos, go to the Superalgos directory/folder and run this command:

node run

The Client will run on your terminal and the GUI will launch on your default browser. If Chrome/Safari is not your default browser, copy the URL, close the browser, open Chrome/Safari, and paste the URL. Be patient... it takes a few seconds to fully load the GUI.

A Welcome Tutorial pops-up automatically. You must do this Tutorial to finish the setup and to learn the basics. It's the ultimate onboarding experience, superior to all other resources available, including videos and the Docs.

If you are running a headless Raspberry Pi (one without a screen) you may need to change directories first and run Superalgos with the minMemo and noBrowser options.

cd Superalgos

then

node run minMemo noBrowser

In addition, you may use any of the automatically installed desktop and start menu shortcuts to launch Superalgos.

NOTE: Shortcuts are not currently supported on Mac. Collaborators are needed to finish this feature.

B. Enable Desktop Shortcut on Ubuntu

The majority of shortcuts that are automatically installed will work out of the box. Desktop shortcuts on Ubuntu, however, require a few additional steps to set up.

First, desktop icons need to be enabled within the Tweaks app.

• Check if Tweaks is installed.
• If not go to Ubuntu Software.
• Install Tweaks.
• Open Tweaks.
• Under extensions turn on Desktop Icons

TIP: If you do not see the desktop shortcut appear right away you may need to restart your computer.

Finally, you will need to enable the desktop shortcut.

• Right click Superalgos.desktop and select Allow Launching.

Now both launcher and desktop shortcuts will launch Superalgos like any other program on your computer.

We are testing the UI on Google Chrome and Safari on macOS only. It may work on other browsers as well — or not. If you are running on a different browser and ever need support, make sure you mention that fact upfront, or even better, try on Chrome/Safari first.

TIP: If your computer has 8 GB of RAM or less, use node run minMemo to run the system with minimal RAM requirements.

If you’re running Superalgos on a headless linux server like a Raspberry Pi, you might want to run it as a daemon so it isn’t attached to your current login session. The easiest, most standard way to go about this is probably using systemd. Most linux distributions use it as default init system/service manager.

Create a superalgos.service file looking like this (change <user> to your user name and /path/to/Superalgos to your Superalgos folder, for instance /home/John/Superalgos):

[Unit]
Description=Superalgos client

[Service]
Type=simple
User=<user>
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/Superalgos
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node run minMemo noBrowser

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

There is no need to run Superalgos as root so we’re running it as a user. The minMemo option assumes you’re running on a small machine like a Raspberry Pi, while noBrowser makes sense for running daemonized.

Now, as root (or using sudo), put the file superalgos.service you just created in /etc/systemd/system/ and issue the command

systemctl enable superalgos

This will install the service so that Superalgos is started on boot. To start it manually, do (again as root or with sudo)

systemctl start superalgos

To see the output of Superalgos, use

journalctl -u superalgos

or to follow the output,

journalctl -u superalgos -f

Superalgos writes nothing outside of the Superalgos folder other than shortcut files. To uninstall the software, follow these steps:

Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to your main Superalgos directory and type the following command:

node uninstall

This will remove any shortcut files that have been installed.

Then simply delete the Superalgos folder. There will be nothing left on your computor.

Once the app finishes loading, an interactive tutorial takes you by the hand and walks you all around the system while you learn the basic skills required to use the interface, mine data, backtest strategies, and even run a live trading session. It is highly recommended you follow the tutorial until the end, as it is carefully crafted to make your onboarding as easy as possible. Tutorials are the absolute best way to tackle the learning curve. You should do all tutorials before you start exploring other avenues on your own.

NOTE: The tutorial uses Binance or Binance US as the exchange of choice. If you don’t have an account with Binance or Binance US, you will still be able to follow 100% of the tutorial. When you get to the live trading section, keep going even if you don't intend to run the session. You may learn how to work with other exchanges later on.

Docker container images can be found at https://github.com/users/Superalgos/packages/container/package/superalgos

If you wish to run Superalgos over docker platform, follow these steps.

Follow the link to install docker.

You will need to create local storage directories beforehand, by example with mkdir Data-Storage Log-Files My-Workspaces

docker run \
  -d \
  --rm \
  --name superalgos \
  -p 18041:18041 \
  -p 34248:34248 \
  -v $(pwd)/Data-Storage:/app/Data-Storage \
  -v $(pwd)/Log-Files:/app/Log-Files \
  -v $(pwd)/My-Workspaces:/app/My-Workspaces \
  ghcr.io/superalgos/superalgos:latest

Now you can access the Superalgos UI at http://127.0.0.1:34248

To see console logs you can use docker logs superalgos -f

When you're done just exec docker kill superalgos

Note: This has not been extensively tested yet. If you run into troubles, please contact us at the Superalgos Support Group.
