Hi, I am quite new to using Lean CLI and wanted to try to live paper trade.
I currently have it running on Ubuntu 20.10 and in a VM
I installed docker, Lean, and pulled my algos from the cloud, However, when I try to live paper trade using Interactive Brokers, I get the error:
Loader.TryCreatePythonAlgorithm(): System.Exception: AlgorithmPythonWrapper():
NameError: name ‘QCAlgorithm’ is not defined
at <module>
class testalgo(QCAlgorithm):Is there something wrong with my code?
from QuantConnect import *
from QuantConnect.Data.UniverseSelection import *
import math
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import scipy as sp
class testalgo(QCAlgorithm):
def Initialize(self):
self.SetStartDate(2010, 3, 1) #Set Start Date
#self.SetEndDate(2021, 5, 1) #Set Start Date
self.cap = 1000
self.SetCash(self.cap)
def OnData(self):
self.SetHoldings('SPY', 1)Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Hi Jimothy,
When running LEAN locally you need to add imports for all types that your code references. In this case, you are missing a `from QuantConnect.Algorithm import QCAlgorithm` import. You can find the full list of imports that are automatically applied in the cloud in the CLI documentation.
