due to pip not working, install pip after creating venv: https://askubuntu.com/questions/488529/pyvenv-3-4-error-returned-non-zero-exit-status-1

cd <repo-dir>
./operations/bootstrap_venv.sh

Set up database

Follow the instructions in the trading_platform README.md

Set up Python environment for ipython notebooks

Due to ipython requiring different dependencies from the app, a separate environment is configured via an environment.yml file.

Install Anaconda.

Create the "arbitrage" environment from the environment.yml file

Start the Anaconda application and select the "arbitrage" environment. Run any notebook in "notebooks".

Set up Pycharm

Set the python binary in the virtual environment as the project interpreter.

Set Pytest as the test runner so that tests can be run from Pycharm.
