Alternative Setup: Building from Source (pip)

This method is necessary for environments like Termux and Alpine/iSH where full Poetry support is not practical or where you prefer to use standard pip for dependency management after cloning the repository or unpacking the .tar.gz source distribution.

For Termux (Android)

Termux does not support Poetry. You must manually install system dependencies and then use pip in a virtual environment.

1.  Install Python and System Dependencies

# Update package lists and upgrade existing packages
pkg update && pkg upgrade
# Install core Termux packages needed for Python scientific libraries
pkg install python-numpy rust

2.  Create and Activate a Virtual Environment
    Though not strictly required by Termux, using a virtual environment is a strong best practice.

python -m venv .venv     
source .venv/bin/activate

3.  Install Python Dependencies
    First, generate the requirements.txt file from pyproject.toml (if not already present), then install.

pip install -r requirements.txt 

4.  Run Commands

python -m pipeline.cli configure     

For Alpine Linux / iSH (iOS)

Alpine uses MUSL, which requires installing specific package variants. cryptography and keyring are notable blockers due to MUSL compatibility, but a workaround is possible.

1.  Install System Dependencies

# Install pip and the required cryptography backend for MUSL
apk add python py3-pip py3-cryptography py3-numpy

2.  Create and Activate a Virtual Environment
    Using a virtual environment is a strong best practice.

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

3.  Install Python Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4.  Run Commands

python3 -m pipeline.cli trend M100FI
