# Config Examples

#### Basic examples for enabling features on the GoCryptoTrader platform

+ Linux example for quickly creating and testing configuration file
```sh
cd ~/go/src/github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader
cp config_example.json config.json
# Test config
go build
./gocryptotrader
```

+ or custom config, can also pass in absolute path to "configuration".json file.

```sh
cd ~/go/src/github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader
cp config_example.json custom.json
# Test config
go build
./gocryptotrader -config custom.json
```

true or the bot will not be able to send authenticated http requests. If needed
you can set the exchanges bank details for depositing FIAT options. Some banks
have multiple deposit accounts for different FIAT deposit currencies.
