Set up a Virtual Environment for the Bot

This is normal on Linux (or Debian-based distros with strict Python environments). You'll run into Python’s PEP 668 restriction, which prevents you from installing packages system-wide using pip3 to avoid breaking your OS-installed Python packages.

Step 1: Create a Folder for Your Project

-If you haven’t already:

-Run:
mkdir -p ~/btc_tracker
cd ~/btc_tracker

Step 2: Create the Virtual Environment

-Run:
python3 -m venv btc-env

-This creates a folder btc-env/ inside your project that contains an isolated Python environment.

Step 3: Activate the Environment

source btc-env/bin/activate

-If successful, your terminal will now look something like:
(btc-env) username@kali:~/btc_tracker$

-This means you’re inside the virtual environment.

Step 4: Install websocket-client

-While the virtual environment is active, install the required library:
pip install websocket-client

-This installs the package only inside your virtual environment — not system-wide.

Step 4.1: Install websocket-client

-install requests:
pip install requests

Step 5: Run the Bot

-Still inside the virtual environment, start it with:
python TERM1B1TB0T.py above 500

₿ Stop the bot from running

CTRL + C

Exit virtual environment

deactivate

Re-activate it later

source ~/btc_tracker/btc-env/bin/activate

List installed packages

pip list

Check Python used

which python (should point inside btc-env)

Run the Bot With a Custom Limit

-Activate your virtual environment first: source ~/btc_tracker/btc-env/bin/activate

-Run the bot with a custom price limit (in USD): python TERM1B1TB0T.py above 5000

-That will only log BTC transactions worth more than $5000.

-If You Don’t Pass a Value

If you run: python TERM1B1TB0T.py

…it will default to $1000.
