This project is not yet ready for generic use. I am using it for drone recorded data currently. I'll work on redoing it to be useful for other neuroevolutionary projects later...

See the setup folder for a getting-started video.

Setup

This project requires Python 3.10 and uses a virtual environment to manage dependencies.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 (must be installed and available in your PATH)
• Git (to clone the repository)

macOS Setup

1. Clone the repository (if you haven't already):

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd Neuroevolution

2. Run the setup script:

   ./setup/macos/setup.sh

   Or if you prefer:

   zsh setup/macos/setup.sh

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate

4. Verify installation:

   python3 run_all.py

Windows Setup

1. Clone the repository (if you haven't already):

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd Neuroevolution

2. Run the setup script:

   .\setup\windows\setup.ps1

   Note: If you encounter an execution policy error, run:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

   Then try running the setup script again.

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

   If PowerShell scripts are blocked, use the batch file instead:

   venv\Scripts\activate.bat

4. Verify installation:

   python run_all.py

Manual Setup (Alternative)

If you prefer to set up manually:

1. Create a virtual environment:

   • macOS/Linux: python3.10 -m venv venv
   • Windows: py -3.10 -m venv venv or python3.10 -m venv venv

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   • macOS/Linux: source venv/bin/activate
   • Windows: venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 or venv\Scripts\activate.bat

3. Upgrade pip:

   pip install --upgrade pip

4. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Troubleshooting

• Python 3.10 not found: Make sure Python 3.10 is installed and added to your PATH. You can verify by running python3.10 --version (macOS) or py -3.10 --version (Windows).

• Virtual environment activation fails: Make sure you're in the project root directory and the venv folder exists.

• Dependencies fail to install: Ensure you have an active internet connection and pip is up to date. Try upgrading pip first: pip install --upgrade pip

• PowerShell execution policy error (Windows): Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser in an administrator PowerShell window.
