环境 设置

For 开发 we recommend using the PyCharm Professional edition IDE, as it interprets Cython syntax. Alternatively, you could use Visual Studio Code with a Cython 扩展.

uv is the preferred tool for handling all Python virtual environments and dependencies.

pre-commit is used to automatically run various checks, auto-formatters and linting tools at commit.

NautilusTrader uses increasingly more Rust, so Rust should be installed on your system as well (installation guide).

信息

NautilusTrader must compile and run on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Please keep portability in mind (use std::path::Path, avoid Bash-isms in shell scripts, etc.).

设置

The following steps are for UNIX-like systems, and only need to be completed once.

  1. Follow the installation guide to set up the project with a modification to the final command to install development and test dependencies:
uv sync --active --all-groups --all-extras

or

make install

If you're developing and iterating frequently, then compiling in debug mode is often sufficient and significantly faster than a fully optimized build. To install in debug mode, use:

make install-debug
  1. Set up the pre-commit hook which will then run automatically at commit:
pre-commit install

Before opening a pull-request run the formatting and lint suite locally so that CI passes on the first attempt:

make format
make pre-commit

Make sure the Rust compiler 报告 zero errors – broken builds slow everyone down.

  1. Optional: For frequent Rust development, configure the PYO3_PYTHON variable in .cargo/config.toml with the path to the Python interpreter. This helps reduce recompilation times for IDE/rust-analyzer based cargo check:
PYTHON_PATH=$(which python)
echo -e "\n[env]\nPYO3_PYTHON = \"$PYTHON_PATH\"" >> .cargo/config.toml

Since .cargo/config.toml is tracked, configure git to skip any local modifications:

git update-index --skip-worktree .cargo/config.toml

To restore tracking: git update-index --no-skip-worktree .cargo/config.toml

Builds

Following any changes to .rs, .pyx or .pxd files, you can re-compile by running:

uv run --no-sync python build.py

or

make build

If you're developing and iterating frequently, then compiling in debug mode is often sufficient and significantly faster than a fully optimized build. To compile in debug mode, use:

make build-debug

Faster builds

The cranelift backends reduces build time significantly for dev, 测试 and IDE checks. However, cranelift is available on the nightly toolchain and needs extra 配置. Install the nightly toolchain

rustup install nightly
rustup override set nightly
rustup component add rust-analyzer # install nightly lsp
rustup override set stable # reset to stable

Activate the nightly 功能 and use "cranelift" backend for dev and 测试 profiles in workspace Cargo.toml. You can apply the below patch using git apply <patch>. You can remove it using git apply -R <patch> before pushing changes.

diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml

Pass RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=nightly when running make build-debug like commands and include it in all rust analyzer settings for faster builds and IDE checks.

Services

You can use docker-compose.yml file located in .docker directory to bootstrap the Nautilus working 环境. This will start the following services:

docker-compose up -d

If you only want specific services running (like postgres for example), you can start them with command:

docker-compose up -d postgres

Used services are:

  • postgres: Postgres database with root user POSTRES_USER which defaults to postgres, POSTGRES_PASSWORD which defaults to pass and POSTGRES_DB which defaults to postgres.
  • redis: Redis server.
  • pgadmin: PgAdmin4 for database management and administration.
信息

Please use this as 开发 环境 only. For 生产, use a proper and more secure 设置.

After the services has been started, you must log in with psql 命令行 to create nautilus Postgres 数据库. To do that you can run, and type POSTGRES_PASSWORD from docker 服务 设置

psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres

After you have logged in as postgres administrator, run CREATE 数据库 command with target db name (we use nautilus):

psql (16.2, server 15.2 (Debian 15.2-1.pgdg110+1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# CREATE DATABASE nautilus;
CREATE DATABASE

Nautilus 命令行 开发者指南

Introduction

The Nautilus 命令行 is a command-line 接口 tool for interacting with the NautilusTrader ecosystem. It offers commands for managing the PostgreSQL 数据库 and handling various trading operations.

备注

The Nautilus 命令行 command is only supported on UNIX-like systems.

Install

You can install the Nautilus 命令行 using the below Makefile target, which leverages cargo install under the hood. This will place the nautilus binary in your system's PATH, assuming Rust's cargo is properly configured.

make install-cli

Commands

You can run nautilus --help to view the 命令行 structure and available command groups:

数据库

These commands handle bootstrapping the PostgreSQL 数据库. To use them, you need to provide the correct connection 配置, either through command-line arguments or a .env file located in the root directory or the current working directory.

  • --host or POSTGRES_HOST for the 数据库 host
  • --port or POSTGRES_PORT for the 数据库 port
  • --user or POSTGRES_USER for the root administrator (typically the postgres user)
  • --password or POSTGRES_PASSWORD for the root administrator's password
  • --数据库 or POSTGRES_DATABASE for both the 数据库 name and the new user with privileges to that 数据库 (e.g., if you provide nautilus as the value, a new user named nautilus will be created with the password from POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and the nautilus database will be bootstrapped with this user as the owner).

Example of .env file

POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_USERNAME=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass
POSTGRES_DATABASE=nautilus

List of commands are:

  1. nautilus database init: Will bootstrap schema, roles and all sql files located in schema root directory (like tables.sql).
  2. nautilus database drop: Will drop all tables, roles and data in target Postgres database.

Rust analyzer settings

Rust analyzer is a popular language server for Rust and has integrations for many IDEs. It is recommended to configure rust analyzer to have same environment variables as make build-debug for faster compile times. Below tested configurations for VSCode and Astro Nvim are provided. For more information see PR or rust analyzer config docs.

VSCode

You can add the following settings to your VSCode settings.json file:

    "rust-analyzer.restartServerOnConfigChange": true,
"rust-analyzer.linkedProjects": [
"Cargo.toml"
],
"rust-analyzer.cargo.features": "all",
"rust-analyzer.check.workspace": false,
"rust-analyzer.check.extraEnv": {
"VIRTUAL_ENV": "<path-to-your-virtual-environment>/.venv",
"CC": "clang",
"CXX": "clang++"
},
"rust-analyzer.cargo.extraEnv": {
"VIRTUAL_ENV": "<path-to-your-virtual-environment>/.venv",
"CC": "clang",
"CXX": "clang++"
},
"rust-analyzer.runnables.extraEnv": {
"VIRTUAL_ENV": "<path-to-your-virtual-environment>/.venv",
"CC": "clang",
"CXX": "clang++"
},
"rust-analyzer.check.features": "all",
"rust-analyzer.testExplorer": true

Astro Nvim (Neovim + AstroLSP)

You can add the following to your astro lsp config file:

    config = {
rust_analyzer = {
settings = {
["rust-analyzer"] = {
restartServerOnConfigChange = true,
linkedProjects = { "Cargo.toml" },
cargo = {
features = "all",
extraEnv = {
VIRTUAL_ENV = "<path-to-your-virtual-environment>/.venv",
CC = "clang",
CXX = "clang++",
},
},
check = {
workspace = false,
command = "check",
features = "all",
extraEnv = {
VIRTUAL_ENV = "<path-to-your-virtual-environment>/.venv",
CC = "clang",
CXX = "clang++",
},
},
runnables = {
extraEnv = {
VIRTUAL_ENV = "<path-to-your-virtual-environment>/.venv",
CC = "clang",
CXX = "clang++",
},
},
testExplorer = true,
},
},
},
