Title: Sierrachart installaion on GNU/Linux Ubuntu 11.04
Post by: MattscheAN on August 17, 2011, 12:56:28 AM
Sierrechart is a Chart Analysistool for Professionals and for Windows, wanna use it on Ubuntu?

1.
First you have to install Wine on your Linux Machine:

Code:
$sudo apt-get install wine

Under Ubuntu it will install winetricks for you too. On other Machines you will install it by yourself.


2.
Download Sierrachart Software from: http://www.sierrachart.com/downloads/SierraChartSetup.exe (http://www.sierrachart.com/downloads/SierraChartSetup.exe)

3.
Download Sierrachartfeed from: http://mining.bitcoin.cz/media/download/sierrachartfeed-0.2.exe (http://mining.bitcoin.cz/media/download/sierrachartfeed-0.2.exe)
This will load the feed of all bitcoincharts.com listet Symbols for you, so you can use them with Sierracharts.

4. Install .NET Framwork with winetricks:
Code:
$winetricks dotnet20
and
Code:
$winetricks vcrun2008

5. Install Sierrachart:
Code:
$wine SierraChartSetup.exe 
When started register with the Sierrachart Page Service. It will give you a 15day Trial but you can use it for bitcoin charts as long as you want.

6. Startup sierrachart bridge feed:
Code:
$wine sierrachartfeed-0.2.exe -s thEUR

Whereas after -s it takes the Symbol of all bitcoinchats.com listed markets. You can start multiple feeds.

7. Open feed in Sierrachart:
In Sierrachart window click File->Open Intraday trading and open the .scid File with the feed you want.

You can now use Sierracharts for Bitcoin markets.


In Unity i have some trouble with the windows, so i use it mostly not in maximized format.


Have Fun!

I only seem to have the one .scid file?

.cxoffice\other\drive_c\SierraChart\Data\mtgoxUSD.scid ?

Where can I get more feeds ready for if Bitcoin charts or MtGox fails?

Had to change the command to:

Code:
./wine /home/jjj/Downloads/sierrachartfeed-0.5.exe -s mtgoxUSD -d ~/.cxoffice/other/drive_c/SierraChart/
Data/
giving:

Code:
Loading data file Y:\.cxoffice\other\drive_c\SierraChart\Data\mtgoxUSD.scid
Downloading historical data
It doesn't do any more than this and nothing more is available in Sierracharts itself.


Is there a more linux native solution?

Code:
Grism shows: /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/grism/grism_prefs.rb:87:in `config_dir': uninitialized constant GRISM::PLATFORM (NameError)
Only link on this I could find:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grism/

 qtstalker has a lot of deps, not sure if either work with bitcoin. Just looking for something basic for when bitcoincharts goes down

Code:
./wine /home/jjj/Downloads/sierrachartfeed-0.5.exe -s mtgoxUSD -d ~/.cxoffice/other/drive_c/SierraChart/
Data/


To download all other markets, please use "-s mtgoxUSD,*"

Ah, yes, figured it out. By going for all data sources it was trying to download everything but giving no feedback that it was actually downloading correctly.

I'm on a very slow connection so the ~160mb took half a day

I had some trouble under Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, I don't know if all this is needed...

--> Received a gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so error:

  apt-get download gnome-keyring:i386
  ls -lrt
  ar x gnome-keyring*.deb
  tar xf data.tar.gz
  ls -la usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11
  mv usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/


--> Received an err:module:attach_process_dlls "MFCM100.dll" error under wine1.4:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install wine1.7

--> Received a error indicating dotnet4.0 was needed:

env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks winecfg
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks vcrun2008
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks vcrun2010

env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks dotnet40
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine SierraChartSetup.exe


The program is now able to run.
