Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for Beginners

Setting up your environment

We'll be utilizing the gym environment from OpenAI that we learned about in Chapter 8, Reinforcement Learning, to create an intelligent robotic arm. OpenAI created a virtual environment based on Fetch Robotic Arms, which created the first fully virtualized test space for robotics algorithms:

You should have these environments already installed on your computer from when we installed gym in Chapter 11, Deep Learning for Finance. We'll just need to add two more packages to get this robotics environment up and running:

brew install cmake openmpi

Both cmake and openmpi are designed to help with the computational efficiency ...
