Hands-On Neuroevolution with Python

Working environment setup

In this experiment, we use the MultiNEAT Python library, which provides the implementation of the HyperNEAT algorithm. Thus, we need to create an appropriate Python environment, which includes the MultiNEAT Python library and all the necessary dependencies. This can be done using Anaconda by executing the following commands in the command line:

$ conda create --name vd_multineat python=3.5$ conda activate vd_multineat$ conda install -c conda-forge multineat $ conda install matplotlib$ conda install -c anaconda seaborn$ conda install graphviz$ conda install python-graphviz

These commands create and activate a vd_multineat virtual environment with Python 3.5. After that, they install the latest version of the MultiNEAT ...
