  **Argo** is an open source trading platform, connecting directly with [OANDA][]
  through the powerful [API][] to develop trading strategies.
  
  ## Installation
  
  After installing [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (required), you can install **Argo**.
  
  - Release 3.x for legacy accounts: if your account id contains only digits (ie. 2534233), it is a legacy account.
  - Release 4.x (or higher) for v20 accounts.
  
  ```
  $ npm install -g argo-trading
  ```
  
  ## Starting Web App
  
  ```

  Eventually point your web brower to `http://localhost:8000`.
