Installation instructions for Linux
To install the software under Linux, you will need to manually configure your python 3.9 environment (note that the software will not work with later versions of python):
- AlphAI is compiled to work with python 3.9 (ideally python 3.9.13). If you have a python 3.9 environment, you can use this one. If not, you can download python 3.9.13 at the following address: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3913/. In the following instructions, the
python3
refers to this python 3.9 environment. - Download a version of AlphAI :
- AlphAI-1.8.10.11.zip (latest version)
- AlphAI-1.7.22.zip (version 1.7.22 - August 25, 2023)
- Unzip the downloaded folder to the location where you want to install AlphAI.
- Open a terminal and go to the newly created folder, for example using the command :
cd AlphAI-1.8.10.11
. - In the terminal, run the command :
python3 -m pip install -r requirements-linux.txt
. This should install all the python libraries needed to run the software. - Finally, to launch the software, enter the command :
sudo python3 Start_Alphai.pyc
then enter your user password. Please note that you'll need to replacepython3
with an explicit path to the python interpreter, for example./python3
or~/Documents/AlphAI/alphaienv/bin/python3
Otherwise, the default interpreter will be launched.
