Download

Clone the repo and submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/EvolutionGym/evogym.git

Requirements

• Python 3.7/3.8
• Linux, macOS, or Windows with Visual Studios 2017
• OpenGL
• CMake
• PyTorch

On Linux only:

sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Either install Python dependencies with conda:

conda env create -f environment.yml

or with pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Build and Install Package

To build the C++ simulation, build all the submodules, and install evogym run the following command:

python setup.py install

Test Installation

cd to the examples folder and run the following script:

python gym_test.py

This script creates a random 5x5 robot in the Walking-v0 environment. The robot is taking random actions. A window should open with a visualization of the environment – kill the process from the terminal to close it.
