![app screenshot](https://github.com/bzoz/ed-ltd-seller/blob/main/screenshots/all.png?raw=true)

This app connects to [EDDN](https://github.com/EDSM-NET/EDDN/wiki) and listens for commodities market updates. It can:
- print highes sell price (and location) of the given commodity
- print highest sell price (and location) of the given commodity
- lowest buying price
- it can also find in-system trade routes, like a carrier selling LTD at a lower price than a station next to it is buying

You will need:
- [Node.js v12.x](https://nodejs.org) - the app runtime. Get the LTS version.
- [Memurai](https://www.memurai.com/get-memurai) - Redis-compatible datastore, used for the database. Get the free Developer Edition.

To run the app:
- Install both Memurai and Node.js
- Extract the ZIP-file with the app to any folder
- Run `init.cmd` - it will install dependencies for the app and will download the star system data from [EDSM](https://www.edsm.net/). The download is about 2GB, and it will use about 4GB of disk space. Alternatively, run `init-nodb.cmd`. It will not download any star data, but will only rely on the data from the EDDN messages. In practice this means it will take the app some time before it will start displaying distances to the selling carriers.
