Installation

Sign-in to the account dashboard and download the version of Trademade for your operating system.

The installation location will depend on your operating system.

Before running Trademade for the first time, ensure you go through the Configuration section.

Operating Systems

Trademade currently runs on Ubuntu Linux, Windows and macOS.

Ubuntu

The Ubuntu installer is a .deb package that can be installed from a command line terminal. There is a dependency on the xdg-utils package that you should install first via apt install xdg-utils. Then install the package with sudo dpkg -i <trademade_installer.db>. Trademade will be installed in /opt/trademade.

Trademade runs headless on Ubuntu - there is no application status window.

Windows

On Windows, simply double-click the installer.

macOS

Mount the .dmg image and drag Trademade to your Applications folder.

Working Directory

Trademade requires a working directory where it will store its configuration, database and log files. The working directory depends on the operating system. On Linux you'll need to create this directory.

OS	Working Directory
Windows	C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Trademade
Ubuntu Linux	~/trademade (recommended)
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Trademade

Upgrades

For most upgrades it's not necessary to run a new installation package. Trademade operates as a hybrid of traditional on-premises software and a SaaS (software as a service). The installation package contains the runtime and additional dependencies. When you run the Trademade application, it automatically downloads the latest version of the Trademade engine which contains the core logic.

New updates are announced on the Discord, and can almost always be done by simply running the /restart Telegram command.
