Local Development

  1. Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd ai_call_debit_spread_trader
  1. Set up environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Configure environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys
  1. Install external dependencies
cd external/optlib && pip install -e .
cd ../pyalgostrategypool && pip install -e .
cd ../..
  1. Initialize database
python -c "from src.core.database import create_tables; create_tables()"
