Get started

Stockcast runs on Python 3.10 or later. Its only dependencies are NumPy, pandas, and Matplotlib.

pip install stockcast

To install the development version from GitHub:

pip install "git+https://github.com/FilTheo/stockcast.git"

Then run the Quickstart and follow the Walkthrough. No background in inventory theory is needed: each idea is introduced with a small example where it first appears.

  • Quickstart: a forecast → order → simulate → evaluate workflow for one product.
  • Walkthrough: nine short pages, from inventory state to a production job.
  • Philosophy: why Stockcast is built the way it is, and the research behind it.
