git clone https://github.com/NoFxAiOS/nofx.git
cd nofx

# 2. Install backend dependencies
go mod download

# 3. Install frontend dependencies
cd web
npm install
cd ..

# 4. Build and start backend

Windows Installation

Method 1: Docker Desktop (Recommended)

1. Install Docker Desktop

   • Download from docker.com/products/docker-desktop
   • Run the installer and restart your computer
   • Start Docker Desktop and wait for it to be ready

2. Run NOFX

   # Open PowerShell and run:
   curl -o docker-compose.prod.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NoFxAiOS/nofx/main/docker-compose.prod.yml
   docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
   

3. Access: Open http://127.0.0.1:3000 in your browser

Method 2: WSL2 (For Development)

1. Install WSL2

   # Open PowerShell as Administrator
   wsl --install
   

   Restart your computer after installation.

2. Install Ubuntu from Microsoft Store

   • Open Microsoft Store
   • Search "Ubuntu 22.04" and install
   • Launch Ubuntu and set up username/password

3. Install Dependencies in WSL2

   # Update system
   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
   
   # Install Go
   wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
   sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.21.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
   echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
   source ~/.bashrc
   
   # Install Node.js
   curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
   sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
   
   # Install TA-Lib
   sudo apt-get install -y libta-lib0-dev
   
   # Install Git
   sudo apt-get install -y git
   

4. Clone and Run NOFX

   git clone https://github.com/NoFxAiOS/nofx.git
   cd nofx
   
   # Build and run backend
   go build -o nofx && ./nofx
   
   # In another terminal, run frontend
   cd web && npm install && npm run dev
   

5. Access: Open http://127.0.0.1:3000 in Windows browser

Method 3: Docker in WSL2 (Best of Both Worlds)

1. Install Docker Desktop with WSL2 backend

   • During Docker Desktop installation, enable "Use WSL 2 based engine"
   • In Docker Desktop Settings → Resources → WSL Integration, enable your Linux distro

2. Run from WSL2 terminal

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NoFxAiOS/nofx/main/install.sh | bash

Server Deployment

Quick Deploy (HTTP via IP)

By default, transport encryption is disabled, allowing you to access NOFX via IP address without HTTPS:

# Deploy to your server
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NoFxAiOS/nofx/main/install.sh | bash

Access via http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:3000 - works immediately.

Enhanced Security (HTTPS)

For enhanced security, enable transport encryption in .env:

TRANSPORT_ENCRYPTION=true

When enabled, browser uses Web Crypto API to encrypt API keys before transmission. This requires:

• https:// - Any domain with SSL
• http://localhost - Local development

Quick HTTPS Setup with Cloudflare

1. Add your domain to Cloudflare (free plan works)

   • Go to dash.cloudflare.com
   • Add your domain and update nameservers

2. Create DNS record

   • Type: A
   • Name: nofx (or your subdomain)
   • Content: Your server IP
   • Proxy status: Proxied (orange cloud)

3. Configure SSL/TLS

   • Go to SSL/TLS settings
   • Set encryption mode to Flexible

   User ──[HTTPS]──→ Cloudflare ──[HTTP]──→ Your Server:3000
   

4. Enable transport encryption

   # Edit .env and set
   TRANSPORT_ENCRYPTION=true
   

5. Done! Access via https://nofx.yourdomain.com

---

Initial Setup (Web Interface)

After starting the system, configure through the web interface:

1. Configure AI Models - Add your AI API keys (DeepSeek, OpenAI, etc.)
2. Configure Exchanges - Set up exchange API credentials
3. Create Strategy - Configure trading strategy in Strategy Studio
4. Create Trader - Combine AI model + Exchange + Strategy
5. Start Trading - Launch your configured traders

All configuration is done through the web interface - no JSON file editing required.
