## NOTICES

- version 3.11.0 requires python 3.11+ (for internal toml processing capabilities and...its faster)


## Install

We recommend using [pipx](https://github.com/pypa/pipx) to install cryptik: `pipx install cryptik`. You can also install via pip: `pip install --user cryptik`.

cryptik uses a config file to store your setup. This file contains information such as the exchange(s) to use. You can grab the sample config file from  [cryptik/example/config.toml](https://gitlab.com/drad/cryptik/-/blob/master/example/config.toml) and place it in `~/.config/cryptik` as this is where cryptik looks for the file by default or you can place it anywhere you like and use the `--config-file` parameter to specify the location.
