Python Environment Setup Instructions

(with thanks to Dr. Kyle Wilson for some tips, such as virtualenvwrapper)

1. Clone the csse490-algorithmic-game-theory repository into an appropriate local (not OneDrive) directory.
2. Install Python 3.10+. Feel free to use pip or conda, whichever you prefer.
3. (Recommended) Create a virtual Python environment for this course. Consider using virtualenvwrapper. Install instructions are here. This gives you easy-to-remember commands such as:

mkvirtualenv [envname] # new python environment
deactivate [envname] # leave the virtual environment
rmvirtualenv [envname] # delete a virtual environment
workon [envname] # load (or switch to) an environment

4. Install the necessary Python libraries from requirements.txt. Using pip, this might look like

pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt

5. If something seems buggy about your environment it's easy to get a fresh slate:

• deactivate your virtual environment
• delete it
• create a new blank one
• install the requirements.txt file
