Pros and cons

🔴 : it's pre-compiled, so you cannot check the Source Code

   

2. Run The Python Code Locally

Here are tutorials step-by-step:

 

For Windows users

---

FIRST PART : PRE-REQUISITES

---

• Install Python on your computer : https://www.python.org/downloads/

PLEASE ADD IT TO PATH BY CHECKING THIS OPTION:

• Install Visual Studio : https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=17

Please install the default package and all those options :

• NEW : LimitSwap now has colors to better display errors / success / etc.

Follow this tutorial to activate colors on your Windows Command :

• 1/ Launch "Regedit"
• 2/ Go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Console]
• 3/ Right click on white space / create new DWORD 32 bit key called VirtualTerminalLevel and set it to 1

• Unzip file
  • Go into the unzipped folder
  • In the folder, push "Shift" on your keyboard, then do a right-click
  • Click on "Open command windows here" or "Open Powershell windows here"

• It will open Windows command (or Powershell) in the right place, where all the files are located:

  --> this will install all the packages needed to run LimitSwap

(🔥 if you have an error here, double check you have selected "Add Python to PATH" on the Python step. If you did not, uninstall Python and reinstall it checking the option "Add Python to PATH")

 

✅ ✅ ✅ And it's done! ✅ ✅ ✅

---

There are 2 ways to do that :

• Simply double-click on "LimitSwap.py" and it will run, since you've installed Python 👍👍

• Or, in the Windows Command, run command: python LimitSwap.py

This second option allows you to use parameters. For example, if you have several .json files and you want to choose which one to use :

python LimitSwap.py -s settingsBSC.json -t tokensBSC.json

or

python LimitSwap.py --benchmark

   

For Linux users

DO THIS ONCE

sudo -s

apt-get install python3-dev build-essential python3-pip

DO THE NEXT STEPS FOR EACH UPGRADE

Navigate to the Limistswap folder, then:

python3 -m venv env

source env/bin/activate

pip install wheel

pip install -r requirements.txt

python LimitSwap.py

This allows you to use parameters. For example, if you have several .json files and you want to choose which one to use :

python LimitSwap.py -s settingsBSC.json -t tokensBSC.json

or

python LimitSwap.py --benchmark
