I built MooMoo's C++ OpenAPI on ClearLinux OS for Intel® Architecture (you can, too)
And this will be my introduction post to the MooMoo Community.
There was no documentation for how to do this, I just figured it out. Technical writers are often your most valuable team members -- do you have any? Do you need any?
![MMAPI4CPP ships w/Bin files for Centos7 and Ubuntu16.04; I built ClearLinux OS's Binary CPPAPI](https://ussnsimg.moomoo.com/sns_client_feed/74563507/20240617/1718591173517-6f8a01a0f3.png/big?area=100&is_public=true)
The latest version for MMAPI4CPP is 8.2.4218; you can get it here: Moomoo - Online Trading Platform, Commission-free Investment App & Brokerage .

Choose the C++ version for this tutorial and the Clear Linux Documentation I worked on about a decade ago.
After you unroll / decompress / extract / unzip the files you have a directory named MMAPI4CPP_8.2.4218. Within that directory, create a new directory called "build".
You can do this on the command line with the following commands (does markdown formatting work here?)
` $ cd MMAPI4CPP && mkdir build
`$ cmake ../Src -DTARGET_OS=ClearLinux`

After that, it is as simple as running `make` and `make install` ... and you are DONE.

No need to put another app on your phone; phones are the least secure devices on which to trade.
Technical writing is only one of my skills. Sadly, I have not had a real paycheck in more than 4 years. And it's not because I fell in love with day trading! Pep talk for the ladies: investing in yourself is not always easiest path, but it's always worth it where people don't value your skills and intelligence and contributions quite enough. Being undervalued can happen far, far too often, and especially when you are a woman or Native American working in tech.

If you want to know more about the author, feel free to linkdive her columns or quote her on this statement: "Nothing on the planet could get me to go work for any friend of Facebook's Meta Platforms, Inc.. My grandfather was a Marine Corp veteran; he did not volunteer his life and service during WWII to protect the future or financial interests of a fascist college dropout CEO with Doomsday compounds in Hawaii and Lake Tahoe. He served so I can speak out publicly against fascists, and it's entirely legal for me to publicly dislike any and every one of them."
Thanks for reading.
