potential errors: test Piker to see if it is working::
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\piker\\brokers.toml'
navigate to file directory above (may be different on your machine, location should be listed in the error)
create folder and copy and paste file or create a blank file using notepad --> 'C:\\Users\\user\\code\\data/brokers.toml'
now that piker is installed we can set up vscode as the default terminal for running piker and editing the code. piker -b binance chart btcusdt.binance # formatting for loading a chart
within vscode you are going to want cmd.exe as your default terminal. piker -b kraken -b binance chart xbtusdt.kraken
piker -b kraken -b binance -b ib chart qqq.nasdaq.ib
piker -b ib chart tsla.nasdaq.ib
in order to look coolio in front of all ur tina friends (and maybe potential error::
want to help us with testin, hackzing or configgin), install
`vscode`_ and `setup a coolio tiled wm console`_ so you can start FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\piker\\brokers.toml'
living the life of the tech literate..
solution:
- navigate to file directory above (may be different on your machine, location should be listed in the error code)
- copy and paste file from 'C:\\Users\\user\\code\\data/brokers.toml' or create a blank file using notepad at the location above
Visual Studio Code setup:
- now that piker is installed we can set up vscode as the default terminal for running piker and editing the code
- open Visual Studio Code
- file --> Add Folder to Workspace --> C:\Users\user\code\piker (adds piker directory where all piker files are located)
- file --> Save Workspace As --> save it wherever you want and call it whatever you want, this is going to be your default workspace for running and editing piker code
- ctrl + shift + p --> start typing Python: Select Interpetter --> when the option comes up select it --> Select at the workspace level --> select the one that shows ('pikonda')
- change the default terminal to cmd.exe instead of powershell (default)
- now when you create a new terminal VScode should automatically activate you conda env so that piker can be run as the first command after a new terminal is created
also, try out fancyzones as part of powertoyz for a decent tiling windows manager to manage all the cool new software you are going to be running.
