Set up the Python environment for OpenAlgo indicator analysis. Installs openalgo, plotly, dash, streamlit, yfinance, matplotlib, seaborn, and creates the project folder structure.

Set up the complete Python environment for OpenAlgo indicator analysis, charting, and dashboard development. Arguments $0 = Python version (optional, default: python3 ). Examples: python3.12 , python3.13 Note : openalgo 2.x requires Python 3.12 or newer (3.12 / 3.13 / 3.14). Check the version before creating the venv and abort with a clear message if it is older: Steps Step 1: Detect Operating System Map: Darwin = macOS, Linux = Linux, MINGW / CYGWIN / Windows = Windows. Step 2: Create Virtual Environment macOS / Linux: Windows: If user specified a Python version argument, use that instead of python3 . Step 3: Install Python Packages Install all required packages: Step 4: Create Project Folders Create only the top level directories. Subdirectories are created on demand by other skills. Step 5: Configure .env File 5a. Ask the user for their OpenAlgo API key using AskUserQuestion: "Enter your OpenAlgo API key (from the OpenAlgo dashboard at /apikey):" 5b. Ask for the OpenAlgo host URL: Default: http://127.0.0.1:5000 If user has a custom domain or ngrok URL, use that 5c. Optionally ask about WebSocket URL: Default: derived from host automatically Only needed if user has a custom WebSocket setup 5d. Write the .env file in the project root: 5e. Add .env to .gitignore : Step 6: Verify Installation Step 7: Print Summary Print a summary showing: Detected OS Python version used Virtual environment path Installed packages and versions Project folders created .env file status Available skills: /indicator chart , /custom indicator , /indicator dashboard , /indicator scanner , /live feed Important Notes Never install packages globally — always use the virtual environment If the user already has a virtual environment, ask before creating a new one NEVER commit .env files — they contain API keys python dotenv is used by all scripts to load .env via find dotenv() openalgo 2.x indicators run on a compiled Rust core inside the wheel — no JIT compilation or warmup; requires Python 3.12+
