Linux Setup (with Desktop)

Download the bot

Head on over to Latest Release Download and save the zip file somewhere handy.

Open up the zip file and copy the contents into a folder.

Configure your trading settings

Open 'config.ini' in your preferred text editor.

This file controls everything the bot does. The current trading strategy settings are examples and we encourage you to change them.

You can find a detailed description of all the options in config.ini here: Configurations Explained

You can find details on how to setup a strategy here: Strategy Setup

Starting the bot

After you've setup your strategy in config.ini you're ready to start the bot!

Inside your Bearpuncher folder hold down Shift -> Right click anywhere inside the folder -> 'Open in Terminal'
- sudo chmod +x bearpuncher
- ./bearpuncher

You will have a few prompts since it's your first time running.

Read and accept the Terms of Service (type 'y' and then enter)
Create your username and password
- Type your username at the prompt (it's case sensitive) and hit enter.
- Type your password, hit enter, confirm password, hit enter.
- Note: It's normal not to see your password as you type it in.
Enter your Binance API Key (Copy-> Right click anywhere in the Bearpuncher window to paste), hit enter
Enter your Binance API Secret - copying over same as above
Enter your Bearpuncer license key - copying over same as above

Once you've filled in the above info the bot will start! It will take 30 seconds to a minute for the bot to populate candles and launch the web interface.

At this point you can open up your internet browser of choice and head on over to http://localhost:5000 and login for the first time with the username and password you just created!

Note: If you're running the bot on a remote VPS you will need to navigate to yourserveripaddress:5000 instead
You will likely also need to allow port TCP/5000 through the VPS firewall.

If you have a Linux VPS and are stuck or confused I highly recommend checking out our Discord support channel as we have Linux experts available to help you through it.
