The setup wizard runs automatically on first launch. Run it again any time with lasersell --setup.

​
What you need

  • RPC URL from Helius, Chainstack, or any Solana RPC provider
  • LaserSell API key from app.lasersell.io (free)
  • A wallet plan: create a new wallet, or have your seed phrase, base58 secret key, or Solana keypair JSON ready to import

​
What the wizard creates

  • ~/.lasersell/config.yml (RPC, API key, strategy)
  • ~/.lasersell/wallet.keystore.json (encrypted wallet)

​
Wizard walkthrough

​
Credentials

RPC URL (private recommended): https://your-private-rpc.example.com
LaserSell API key: ********
The API key input is masked. A private RPC is strongly recommended for production.

​
Strategy

The wizard prompts you to configure each exit condition. Set values that match your trading style and risk tolerance.
  • Target Profit: sell when profit reaches this % (e.g. 6%)
  • Stop Loss: sell when loss reaches this % (e.g. 10%)
  • Trailing Stop: sell when profit drops this % from its peak (e.g. 5%)
  • Deadline Timeout: force sell after N seconds (e.g. 120)
  • Slippage Tolerance: max slippage for sells (e.g. 20%)
  • Sell on Graduation: auto-sell when token migrates to an AMM (y/N)
At least one exit condition (target profit, stop loss, trailing stop, or deadline) must be enabled. You can change any of these later by editing ~/.lasersell/config.yml and restarting the daemon, or by re-running lasersell --setup.

​
Wallet

Existing keystore detected? You can reuse it or create/import a different wallet. Creating a new wallet: LaserSell generates a 12-word seed phrase and displays it once. Save it immediately.
You will not be shown the seed phrase again. If you lose it, you lose the wallet.
Importing an existing wallet: Choose one of:
  1. Base58 secret key (input is masked)
  2. Seed phrase (uses derivation path m/44'/501'/0'/0')
  3. Solana keypair JSON file path
After import, verify the displayed pubkey matches the wallet you intended.

​
Passphrase

Set a passphrase to encrypt your keystore: 
Keystore passphrase: ********
Confirm passphrase: ********
There is no “forgot password.” If you lose your passphrase, the keystore cannot be recovered. Your recovery path is re-importing the wallet from your seed phrase or private key.

​
Review and write

LaserSell shows a summary of your settings and asks to write the config. Confirm to save.

​
After setup

LaserSell continues into normal startup. On future launches, it will ask for your keystore passphrase to unlock the wallet. For headless/automated runs, set the LASERSELL_WALLET_PASSPHRASE environment variable.

​
Troubleshooting

“config file not found; run —setup in an interactive terminal” The wizard requires a real TTY. SSH into the machine or open a local terminal and run lasersell --setup. Imported seed phrase gives the wrong address LaserSell uses Solana’s standard derivation path (m/44'/501'/0'/0'). If your wallet uses a different derivation, import via base58 secret key or keypair JSON instead.
