Share New Research 
For anyone (like me) trying to run a strategy offline, a step-by-step VS Code way:
- git clone https://github.com/scubamut/Lean.git
- install mono (see read.me)
- install Python with pythonnet and packages (see Algorithm.Python project).
- start VSCODE
- Add Lean Folder to Workspace
- Edit Launcher/config.json (see read,me)
- add BasicTemplateAlgorithm.py
- new Terminal
- nuget restore QuantConnect.Lean.sln
- msbuild QuantConnect.Lean.sln
- cd Launcher/bin/Debug
- mono QuantConnect.Lean.Launcher.exe
Hope it helps.
Thanks to Quantconnect!
