Install
|
|
*******
|
|
``piker`` is currently under heavy alpha development and as such should
|
|
be cloned from this repo and hacked on directly.
|
|
|
|
A couple bleeding edge components are being used atm pertaining to
|
|
async ports of libraries for use with `trio`_.
|
|
|
|
Before installing make sure you have `pipenv`_.
|
|
For a development install::
|
|
|
|
git clone git@github.com:pikers/piker.git
|
|
cd piker
|
|
pipenv install --dev -e .
|
|
pipenv shell
|
|
|
|
To start the real-time index ETF watchlist with the `robinhood` backend::
|
|
|
|
piker watch indexes -l info
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to see super granular price changes, increase the
|
|
broker quote query ``rate`` with ``-r``::
|
|
|
|
piker watch indexes -l info -r 10
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to run the broker-client micro service as a daemon::
|
|
|
|
pikerd -l info
|
|
|
|
Then start the client app as normal::
|
|
|
|
piker watch indexes -l info

Laggy distros
|
|
=============
|
|
For those running pop-culture distros that don't yet ship ``python3.7``
|
|
you'll need to install it as well as `kivy source build`_ dependencies
|
|
since currently there's reliance on an async development branch.
|
|
|
|
.. _kivy source build:

Tech

****

|
- Python 3.7+

|
