 !!! Hint
     Using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the [Anaconda installation section](installation.md#installation-with-conda) in the documentation for more information.
 
-### Install ta-lib
-
-Install ta-lib according to the [ta-lib documentation](https://github.com/TA-Lib/ta-lib-python#windows).
-
-As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), Freqtrade provides these dependencies (in the binary wheel format) for the latest 3 Python versions (3.11, 3.12 and 3.13) and for 64bit Windows.
-These Wheels are also used by CI running on windows, and are therefore tested together with freqtrade.
-
-Other versions must be downloaded from the above link.
-
-``` powershell
-cd \path\freqtrade
-python -m venv .venv
-.venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
-# optionally install ta-lib from wheel
-# Eventually adjust the below filename to match the downloaded wheel
-pip install --find-links build_helpers\ TA-Lib -U
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-pip install -e .
-freqtrade
-```
-
-!!! Note "Use Powershell"
-    The above installation script assumes you're using powershell on a 64bit windows.
-    Commands for the legacy CMD windows console may differ.
