Hands-On Neuroevolution with Python

Working environment setup

In this experiment, we use the MultiNEAT Python library. Thus, we need to create an appropriate Python environment, which includes this library and other dependencies. You can set up the Python environment with the help of Anaconda with the following commands:

$ conda create --name maze_co python=3.5$ conda activate maze_co$ conda install -c conda-forge multineat $ conda install matplotlib$ conda install graphviz$ conda install python-graphviz

These commands create the maze_co virtual environment with Python 3.5 and install all necessary dependencies into it.
