Hi there,

You need to install both the TA-Lib system package and the Python library. Run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libta-lib-dev
pip install ta-lib

If you still get an error, try this:

pip install --no-cache-dir ta-lib

Make sure you’re in the right virtual environment (botenv) when running the install. 🚀
