Hands-On Neuroevolution with Python

Working environment setup

The working environment for the double-pole balancing experiment can be set up with the following commands entered into your Terminal application of choice:

$ conda create --name double_pole_neat python=3.5$ conda activate double_pole_neat$ pip install neat-python==0.92 $ conda install matplotlib$ conda install graphviz$ conda install python-graphviz

These commands create and activate a double_pole_neat virtual environment with Python 3.5. After that, the NEAT-Python library with version 0.92 is installed, along with the other dependencies used by our visualization utilities.
