Setting Up Your Environment with uv

This guide will walk you through installing uv (the fast Python package installer and resolver) and creating a Python virtual environment for Evolution Gym and related packages.

Installing uv

For Windows

Open PowerShell and run:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

For macOS and Linux

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

After installation, restart your terminal or reload your shell configuration to ensure the uv command is available.

Step-by-Step Environment Setup

1. Initialize uv

uv init

This initializes uv in your current directory.

2. Create a Virtual Environment

uv venv --python=python3.10

This creates a virtual environment using Python 3.10.

3. Install Required Packages

Run the following commands to install all necessary packages:

uv add evogym
uv add ipykernel -U --force-reinstall
uv add torch
uv add matplotlib
uv add --upgrade setuptools
uv add tqdm
uv add imageio

Package Details

  • evogym: Evolution Gym framework
  • ipykernel: Kernel for Jupyter notebooks
  • torch: PyTorch machine learning library
  • matplotlib: Data visualization library
  • setuptools: Package development tools
  • tqdm: Progress bar utility
  • imageio: Library for reading and writing image data

Activation and Usage

For Windows

.venv\Scripts\activate

For macOS/Linux

source .venv/bin/activate

After activation, you can start using the installed packages in your Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks.

For any issues with the environment setup, check the uv documentation or package-specific resources.
