Install on your Mac

Step 1 of 6

What you need

GRIDer runs on your own Mac, in your browser, at an address only that Mac can reach. One command installs everything — including the parts you do not have yet.

  • A Mac that can stay switched on with its session open. This is the real requirement — the next step explains why.
  • macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer. Both Apple Silicon and Intel work.
  • About 4 GB of free memory and 20 GB of free disk.
  • Your GRIDer license: the install URL and the install token that came with it.

If your Mac cannot stay on all the time, a small cloud server is the better home for your instance — from about €5 a month.

You do not need to install Docker, a database or anything else beforehand, and nothing you already have on your Mac gets modified — GRIDer brings its own pieces and keeps them to itself.

GRIDer

Self-hosted grid trading software. Your environment, your control.

GRIDer is software you install and operate yourself, on your own account and with your own funds. It is not an investment service, it does not manage anyone else’s money, and nothing on this site is investment advice or a recommendation to trade. Trading crypto derivatives involves leverage and a high risk of loss.
