Installing

Python 3.6 or later is required. If using MacOSX, we suggest using pyenv instead of the native OSX python. I assume you are using a virtual environment called .env.

git clone git@github.com:robertness/pyro_agents.git
cd pyro_agents
python3 -m venv .env
. .env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install . -r requirements.txt

Running the unit tests

Go to desired folder:

cd causal_agents

and run

python -m unittest
