Hello,
I am planning on using the Lean CLI to give me the ability to trade on my Robinhood account for 0 commission fees on Cryptocurrency. I had a few questions on how to do this.
- I've heard you cannot use the quant connect data feed for this and would have to use IQFeed instead. Im confused on what that means and how I could set that up.
- Is Lean CLI an IDE? If so how would I then import robin_stocks into that? Would you use import or is there another way you need to install it?
- Finally, how exactly do you install Lean CLI? I've seen videos on people downloading it on Github and others using their terminal and using # pip install lean.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Antonio,
Welcome!
3. I recommend using pip install. DO NOT use Python 3.10. I've seen issues with it. It should run with 3.9 but I've personally extensively tested with 3.8. Officially, LEAN uses 3.6. So if you want to make sure that you are not using features in Python that LEAN won't support, follow the guidelines and install 3.6. If you know where you are going and all, install 3.8 or 3.9. Refer to the above for the guidelines.
Cheers!
Fred
