I’m not a coder. This looks awesome and I’d really love to try it.
Can anyone tell me how to get this working or point me to a set of instructions? I see the code and read me on GitHub but don’t know what to do next.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Once you have that, download the code (green button "Download as ZIP") and extract it into your WinPython folder. Go into it by typing "cd GamestonkTerminal" into the terminal and press enter. The terminal should indicate you're now in that folder.
Once there, run the following command: "pip -r install". This wil take some time to complete, during which you can follow the links in the "API Keys" section of the Readme and follow whatever steps they require for you to get an API key (probably have to register an account, create an "application" and create a key - it'll usually be a long random-looking string of characters).
Once you have the keys, edit the "config_terminal.py" using notepad or preferably Notepad++ and put the corresponding keys where "REPLACE_ME" is at the end of each line (keep the quotes!).
If you've done all that, go back to the command prompt from before and run "python ganestonk_terminal.py". The terminal should be running.
WinPython install completed. Ran WinPython Command Prompt. Extracted zip folder to WinPython folder. Typed in "cd Gamestonk Terminal" (with and without "s). Result: The system cannot find the path specified. Terminal seems to have opened with scripts folder in command line.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your post though!
I get two errors;
1) no such option: -r
2) Permission denied when using Git HUB
Yes i'm a noob.
2) Permission denied where? I'm not sure what scenario on GitHub could possibly lead to that.
I did try and install it myself and it turned out to be significantly more annoying than expected (on Linux, mind you, so it might be easier on Win). I didn't actually get it to run because after an hour, I had other things to do.
