Hardware and software requirements

The ensuing chapters will require you to implement various reinforcement learning algorithms. Hence a proper development environment is necessary for a smooth learning journey. In particular, you should have the following:

  • A computer running either macOS or the Linux operating system (for those on Windows, try setting up a Virtual Machine with a Linux image)
  • A stable internet connection
  • A GPU (preferably)

We will exclusively use the Python programming language to implement our reinforcement learning and deep learning algorithms. Moreover, we will be using Python 3.6. A list of libraries we will be using can be found on the official GitHub repository, located at (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Python-Reinforcement-Learning-Projects ...
