cd hummingbot
docker compose up -d
docker attach hummingbot
    

Install from Source

If you wish to customize or extend Hummingbot, build new components like connectors or strategies, and understand how Hummingbot works on a deeper technical level, we recommend installing from source.

Prerequisites:

• macOS 10.12.6+ / Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 10+)
• Memory: 4 GB RAM per instance
• Storage: 3 GB of HDD space per instance

Architecture

Hummingbot's architecture consists of modular components that can be maintained and expanded by individual community members.

Strategies and Scripts

A Hummingbot strategy is an ongoing process of executing an algorithmic trading strategy, constructed as a user-defined program that utilizes a framework to abstract low-level operations:

• V2 Strategies: The latest and most advanced way to create strategies in Hummingbot. V2 strategies consist of composable elements called Controllers and PositionExecutors, allowing for rapid and efficient development.

• Scripts: For those seeking lightweight solutions, Hummingbot offers scripting support. These single-file strategies are quick to implement and serve as excellent starting points for newcomers to algorithmic trading. Check the /scripts folder for examples.

• V1 Strategies: These are templated programs for various trading strategies exposing user-defined parameters. Although V1 strategies have been largely succeeded by V2 Strategies and Scripts, they are still widely used.

Connectors

Hummingbot connectors standardize trading logic and order types across diverse exchanges and blockchain networks. The Hummingbot codebase currently contains over 50 connectors:

• CEX: Centralized exchanges that take custody of user assets, e.g., Binance, KuCoin.
• DEX: Decentralized exchanges where user assets are stored non-custodially in smart contracts, e.g., dYdX, Uniswap.
• Chain: Layer 1 blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, etc.

Each exchange has one or more connectors in the Hummingbot codebase that support specific market types.
