This is v0.0.2-rc1, the first release candidate for the Kelp GUI.

This is a release-candidate because it is experimental and still has some known bugs.

Our purpose is to do some internal testing before releasing this to the public. This is the version that we will ship to the public once it passes internal testing.

Download for your relevant platform (macOS = darwin) and unzip, double-click to use.

Running Instructions

General: If you want to move the installation then move the entire directory since there are folders such as .kelp and vendor that are required for Kelp to run

Windows

Prerequisite: You need to install Xming, which is an X-Server for windows. This is required to render the GUI of Kelp.

You need to run the kelp-start.bat file so it runs under the linux subsystem.

For any other issues that pop up, see the Linux section below

Linux

If your bot get stuck at the point where it is waiting for CCXT to start up.

  1. Go to .kelp/ccxt/ccxt-rest_linux-x64 and run ./ccxt
  2. If you see the error “version ‘GLIBCXX-3.4.21’ not found” then try this solution (both parts): https://askubuntu.com/a/582910

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential clang libdbus-1-dev libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libasound2-dev libcap-dev libcups2-dev libxtst-dev libxss1 libnss3-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib curl gperf bison python-dbusmock openjdk-8-jre libX11-xcb-dev libstdc++6

RHEL / CentOS / Fedora

MacOS

This version is not code signed for MacOS, but there is a workaround.

You need to copy Kelp.app from the DMG file into the /Applications folder (shortcut in the DMG) and run it from /Applications.

Goal

The goal is to catch any obvious bugs that we may have missed

Capabilities

You should be able to see over 100 exchanges available in the price feeds via CCXT.

Limitations

  1. This will only run on the test network for now
  2. When you double-click to run it, it will first automatically download one dependency in the background (~50 MB) to enable the UI to work. You will see nothing when this happens, which is expected for rc1. This will be fixed in rc2.

What to test

  1. The GUI opens up correctly on your platform
  2. Ensure that you can create, update, and modify bots.
  3. You can trade against a market, defaulting to the "COUPON" market against XLM.
  4. See your offers in stellar.expert and interstellar.exchange directly from within the Kelp GUI.

How is this different from the Kelpathon?

The Kelpathon tested the web-version of the Kelp GUI.
This test is for the downloadable desktop application of the Kelp GUI.

How much time should I spend on this

20-60 minutes based on your level of interest and curiosity.

How can I get more tokens?

Can I share this externally?

Not yet. We will be sharing it externally within the next two weeks along with a public announcement.
