Setup Guide

This guide describes a clean local setup for development and reproducible runs.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • CMake 3.16+
  • A C++20 compiler
  • PostgreSQL 14+ (or Docker)
  • On macOS, Homebrew packages for C++ DB support:
    • libpq
    • libpqxx
    • eigen
    • pybind11

Python dependencies

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .
pip install pandas yfinance sqlalchemy psycopg2-binary matplotlib scipy

Environment configuration

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env and set:

  • DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD
  • PIPELINE_SYMBOLS
  • admin credentials used only by setup script (POSTGRES_ADMIN_*)

Database bootstrap

source .env
python scripts/setup_postgres.py

The script is idempotent and safe to rerun.

Build and test C++

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build -j
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

Generate Doxygen docs

cmake --build build --target docs
