Rotkehlchen is an asset management and accounting application specializing in Crypto assets and aims to also help with tax reporting. It is integrated with multiple exchanges and more will come soon. TODO
For now only Linux is supported and only installation from source. This will change soon and both other platforms will be supported but also easier to install methods will be provided
Rotkehlchen needs Python3 in order to function.
Make sure you have node.js and npm. If you don't use your linux distro's package manager to get them.
Get zeromq using the package manager of your distro. For example here is the package in Archlinux and in Ubuntu.
Also get sqlcipher using the package manager of your distro. For example here is the package in Archlinux and in Ubuntu.
Install electron and any other npm dependencies by:
npm install --runtime=electron --target=1.8.4
Create a new virtual environment to install all the python dependencies. If you don't have mkvirtualenv then check how to get it depending on your distribution. Here is a guide for Ubuntu and here is one for ArchLinux.
mkvirtualenv rotkehlchen
Then install all the python requirements by doing:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now to start the application you need to type npm start.
NOTE: While possible, the installation on OSX is still unsupported.
The <tldr> version is:
- install sqlcipher
- use a virtual env with python 3.6.x
- make sure pip installed everything it says it installed
- get your node under control with nvm, i tested 8.9
The following recipe has been tested using Anaconda. VirtualEnv works as well, refer to the documentations of those projects to install and use them.
Rotkehlchen uses an encrypted database called SQLCipher. Before we can proceed, we need to install it. Homebrew makes it simple:
$ brew update && brew install sqlcipher
If you wish to use Conda, use the following commands:
$ brew cask install caskroom/cask/anaconda
$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/anaconda3/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
$ echo ". /usr/local/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.bash_profile
$ source ~/.bash_profile
$ conda create python=3.6 --name rotkehlchen
$ conda activate rotkehlchen
Before using pip, let´s ensure we have the latest version:
$ pip install --upgrade pip
Install all the requirements:
$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Rotkehlchen uses electron, we need to install it:
$ npm install --runtime=electron --target=1.8.4
Almost there, we can now install all the NodeJS dependencies. Using a recent NodeJS version such as 8.9.x, it should be smooth
$ npm install
You now deserved to start Rotkehlchen:
$ npm start
It's an open-source project so help is really appreciated. Open issues, pull requests to help with development, be active in Github and above all be nice.
