# Setup — Setup prepares your backtesting workspace by detecting your operating system, creating an isolated Python environment, installing core libraries (VectorBT, OpenAlgo, Plotly, DuckDB), and configuring market data sources. It guides you through optional TA-Lib installation and API key setup for Indian markets, US equities, or crypto exchanges, then verifies all dependencies are ready.
