## Requirements
* 8 GB memory or more (On AWS, this is a `t2.large` instance)
* Linux / Debian / MacOS
Cloud Server or local machine
## Installation
* Minimum of at least 2vCPU and 8 GB memory or more (On AWS, this is a `t2.large` instance)
* Linux / MacOS / Windows*
* For Windows users, make sure to install WSL2 as well as a Linux distro like Ubuntu and run the commands listed below in a Linux terminal and **NOT** in the Windows Command prompt or Powershell.
## Installation
### Method 1 - Deploy Repo
This is the **recommended** install procedure for normal users
1 - Install dependencies:
* [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/)
2 - Clone repo and navigate to the created directory
```bash
git clone https://github.com/hummingbot/deploy.git
cd deploy
```
3 - Run the provided bash script
```bash
bash setup.sh
```
Proceed to the **Launch Dashboard** section
### Method 2 - Source
This method is only recommended if you are a developer and want to make changes to the code.

## Enable Authentication
1 - Locate the `config.py` file in the /dashboard folder
Don't forget to run the **Backend-API** and **Broker** separately for this to work
2 - Open the file using a text editor
Proceed to the **Launch Dashboard** section
3 - Modify the `AUTH_SYSTEM_ENABLED` variable and set this to `True` to enable. By default this is set to `False`
## Launch the Dashboard
## Configure Credentials for Authentication
Open a web browser and navigate to <https://localhost:8501> to view the Dashboard.
### Method 1: Using hasher_generate
If you are using a cloud server or VPS, replace localhost with the IP of your server. You may need to edit the firewall rules to allow inbound connections to the necessary ports.
1 - Update the Environment
Ensure that you have the latest version of the project and reinstall the conda environment if needed.
2 - Generate Hashed Password
Open a Python terminal and utilize hasher_generate from Streamlit to generate a hashed password. Example code:
```
import streamlit_authenticator as st_auth
hashed_password = st_auth.Hasher("YOUR_PLAIN_TEXT_PASSWORD").generate()[0]
print(hashed_password)
```
3 - Edit the Credentials YAML File
Locate the credentials YAML file in the root directory.
Edit the file by inserting the generated hashed password from Step 2.
4 - Accessing the Dashboard
Run the Hummingbot Dashboard project.
Use the username and the plain text password (used in Step 2) to log in to the dashboard.
5 - Logging Out
To log out, navigate to the dashboard and select 'Logout'.
### Method 2: Using Pre-Authorized Emails for User Registration
1 - Update the Environment
As in Method 1, ensure your conda environment and project version are up-to-date.
2 - Whitelist Emails
In the credentials YAML file, add the emails of users who will be pre-authorized to register and create their credentials.
```
pre_authorized_emails:
- user1@example.com
- user2@example.com
```
3 - User Registration
Direct users to the Hummingbot Dashboard.
Users should select 'Register' and enter one of the pre-authorized email addresses.
They will choose their own username and password during registration.
4 - First-Time Login
Users log in with their chosen username and password.
The dashboard will hash and store their credentials automatically.
5 - Logging Out
Similar to Method 1, users can log out by navigating to the dashboard and selecting 'Logout'.
### Additional Notes
- Video instruction link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ecd2aWHZCyuK5Etcv8AZwXMw2B-1sJG/view?usp=share_link
- Users created through Method 2 (Pre-Authorized Emails) will have their hashed passwords automatically generated and stored.
- Always ensure the secure handling and storage of credentials.
- Utilize the 'Logout' feature to secure information and restrict access to the dashboard when it is not in use.
## Updating
To update the `dashboard` environment for changes to dependencies defined in `environment.yml`, remove the environment and re-create it:
Before updating, make sure to stop any running instances first
### Deploy Repo
To update - make sure you are in the `deploy` folder then run the bash script
```
make env_remove
make env_create
bash setup.sh
```
To updated the `dashboard` source for latest version, run:
This will pull any latest images and recreate the Docker containers.
### Source
To update the `dashboard` source for latest version, run:
```
cd dashboard
git pull
```
Once updated, start up the dashboard again:
```
make run
```
To update the `dashboard` environment, run
```
make env_remove
make env_create
```
This will remove the `conda` environment and recreate it.
## Troubleshooting
For Dashboard issues, please open a ticket on our Dashboard [Github page](https://github.com/hummingbot/dashboard) or post in the `#hummingbot-deploy` channel in [Discord](https://discord.gg/hummingbot)
### Docker permissions
If you get an error like `Permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock`, run this command to enable Docker permissions:
```
sudo chmod 6666 /var/run/docker.sock
```
### Sym-link data directory
To use the [Strategy Performance page](https://github.com/hummingbot/dashboard/wiki/%F0%9F%9A%80-Strategy-Performance), you need to establish a symbolic link to the `data` directory of your running Hummingbot instance:
The `data` directory differs for Docker versus Source installed Hummingbot:
* Docker installed: `/path/to/hummingbot/hummingbot_files/data`
* Source installed: `/path/to/hummingbot/data`
Create a symlink to your Hummingbot `/data` directory
```bash
# replace `/path/to/hummingbotdata` with the actual path
ln -s /path/to/hummingbotdata data
# if you need to remove the symlink
unlink data
```

## Documentation
For detailed instructions and further information, visit our [documentation page](https://hummingbot.org/dashboard/).
## Installation
Currently, Dashboard should be installed from source via the process below. In the future, we aim to support a simpler,Docker-based installation process as well.
Currently, we recommend users to install Dashboard using the **[Deploy repo](https://github.com/hummingbot/deploy)** instead as this will automatically launch Dashboard along with the needed components in their own Docker containers.
If you are a developer, and want to make changes to the code then we recommend using the Source installation below - please note that you will also need to launch the Backend API and Broker separately (either through source install or through Docker).
