[I might move this guide into the docs one day]
If you are experiencing issues importing data via the interface, you can do so via the commandline to get more debug information needed to troubleshoot your problem.
Step 1: create a config file
Copy gekko/sample-config.js into gekko/config.js
Step 2: configure your config
Open up the gekko/config.js file with a text editor (sublime is excellent, free and runs on all major OSes).
- Search for "config.watch" and replace exchange, currency and asset with the market you want to import from.
- [OPTIONAL] Search for "config.importer" and replace the from date with a more recent date (for example a month ago).
Step 3: run the import
- Open a terminal and navigate to the Gekko directory.
- Run the import by typing: node gekko -c config.js -i
