[!IMPORTANT] Maintenance notice — June 2026 Due to funding constraints, the public Fincept Terminal is moving to one update per month and is no longer maintained on a daily basis. The team is now focused on a subscription-based private edition of the terminal and a new project, Quantcept. This open-source repo stays public and will not be deleted.

About

Fincept Terminal v4 is a pure native C++20 desktop application. It uses Qt6 for UI and rendering, embedded Python for analytics, and delivers professional terminal-class performance in a single native binary.

Features

Installation

Option 1 — Download Installer (Recommended)

Latest release: v4.2.0 — View all releases

Option 2 — Quick Start (One-Click Build)

Clone and run the setup script — it installs all dependencies and builds the app automatically:

# Linux / macOS
git clone https://github.com/Fincept-Corporation/FinceptTerminal.git
cd FinceptTerminal
chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh

The script handles: compiler check, CMake, Qt6, Python, build, and launch.

Windows: No setup script — use the manual build steps in Option 4 below. It's just two commands.

Option 3 — Docker (CI / Developer Environments)

Note: Docker is intended for CI/CD testing and development environments only. For the best experience, use the pre-built installers in Option 1 above. Docker requires Linux with X11. Windows and macOS are not supported.

# Build from source (Linux + X11 required)
git clone https://github.com/Fincept-Corporation/FinceptTerminal.git
cd FinceptTerminal
docker build -t fincept-terminal .
docker run --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix fincept-terminal

Option 4 — Build from Source (Manual)

Versions are pinned. Use the exact versions below. Newer or older versions are unsupported and may fail to build or produce unstable binaries.

Prerequisites (exact versions)

Install Qt 6.8.3

Windows: Qt Online Installer → select Qt 6.8.3 > MSVC 2022 64-bit (install path: C:/Qt/6.8.3/msvc2022_64)

Linux: Qt Online Installer → Qt 6.8.3 > Desktop gcc 64-bit (install path: ~/Qt/6.8.3/gcc_64). Or for system packages, install qt6-base-dev qt6-charts-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-base-private-dev libqt6websockets6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev — note system packages may be a different 6.x minor.

macOS: Qt Online Installer → Qt 6.8.3 > macOS (install path: ~/Qt/6.8.3/macos)

Build (using CMake presets — recommended)

git clone https://github.com/Fincept-Corporation/FinceptTerminal.git
cd FinceptTerminal/fincept-qt

Step 1 — Configure (one-time, or after CMakeLists.txt changes):

cmake --preset win-release      # Windows (PowerShell)
cmake --preset linux-release    # Linux
cmake --preset macos-release    # macOS

Step 2 — Compile (run this for every code change):

cmake --build --preset win-release      # Windows
cmake --build --preset linux-release    # Linux
cmake --build --preset macos-release    # macOS

Older or RAM-constrained machines: add --parallel 4 (or any small number) to cap concurrent compile jobs. The default saturates every core, which can overheat older CPUs and slow the rest of your system. Example: cmake --build --preset macos-release --parallel 4.

Debug variants: replace release with debug (e.g. win-debug, linux-debug, macos-debug).

Windows prerequisite: The PowerShell profile at ~/Documents/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 auto-initializes VS 2022 on every new terminal — open a fresh PowerShell and cmake works directly.

Build (manual — if presets can't resolve your Qt path)

# Windows (PowerShell)
cmake -B build/win-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release `
  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:/Qt/6.8.3/msvc2022_64"
cmake --build build/win-release

# Linux
cmake -B build/linux-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$HOME/Qt/6.8.3/gcc_64"
cmake --build build/linux-release

# macOS
cmake -B build/macos-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11.0 \
  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$HOME/Qt/6.8.3/macos"
cmake --build build/macos-release

Run

./build/<preset>/FinceptTerminal         # Linux / macOS (preset build)
.\build\<preset>\FinceptTerminal.exe     # Windows (preset build)

Troubleshooting

1. "Could not find Qt6 6.8.3" — verify CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH points to the Qt 6.8.3 install, not 6.5/6.6/6.8.
2. MSVC version error — use VS 2022 17.8+ (MSVC 19.38+). Check with cl /?.
3. Need to unblock with a different Qt minor? Pass -DFINCEPT_ALLOW_QT_DRIFT=ON (local testing only — never for releases or CI).
4. Clean rebuild: delete build/<preset>/ and re-run configure.

What Sets Us Apart

Fincept Terminal is an open-source financial platform built for those who refuse to be limited by traditional software. We compete on analytics depth and data accessibility — not on insider info or exclusive feeds.

Recent builds also support optional Adanos Market Sentiment connectivity in Data Sources → Alternative Data. When configured, Equity Research can surface cross-source retail sentiment snapshots across Reddit, X, finance news, and Polymarket. Without an active Adanos connection, the feature remains dormant and the rest of the app behaves exactly as before.

• Native performance — C++20 with Qt6, no Electron/web overhead
• Single binary — no Node.js, no browser runtime, no JavaScript bundler
• Full buy-side analyst toolkit — equity, portfolio, derivatives, fixed income, corporate finance, alternatives
• 100+ data connectors — from Yahoo Finance to government databases
