Installation
============
There are 2 ways to install the PyRoboLearn framework.
1. via :ref:`Docker`
2. using a :ref:`Virtual Environment`
.. _Docker:
Docker
-------
At the moment the docker is a self contained Ubuntu image with all the libraries installed. When launched we have access to a Python3.6 interpreter and we can import pyrobolearn directly.
In the future, ROS may be splitted in another container and linked to this one.
1. Install Docker and nvidia-docker
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable # you should replace bionic by your version
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce
sudo systemctl status docker # check that docker is active
2. Build the image
.. code-block:: bash
docker build -t pyrobolearn .
3. You can now start the python interpreter with every library already installed
.. code-block:: bash
docker run -p 11311:11311 -v catkin_ws:/pyrobolearn/catkin_ws/ -ti pyrobolearn python3
To open an interactive terminal in the docker image use:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run -p 11311:11311 -v catkin_ws:/pyrobolearn/catkin_ws/ -ti pyrobolearn /bin/bash
4. If the GPU is not recognized in the interpreter, you can install ``nvidia-docker``
.. code-block:: bash
curl -sL https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID)
curl -sL https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-docker2
sudo pkill -SIGHUP dockerd
And use:
.. code-block:: bash
nvidia-docker run -p 11311:11311 -v catkin_ws:/pyrobolearn/catkin_ws/ -ti pyrobolearn
.. _Virtual Environment:
Virtual Environment
-------------------
0. Prerequisites: install the following packages on your Ubuntu system
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install cmake gfortran
1. First download the ``pip`` Python package manager and create a virtual environment for Python as described in the following link: https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtualenv/
On Ubuntu, you can install ``pip`` and ``virtualenv`` by typing in the terminal:
- In Python 2.7:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt install python-pip
sudo pip install virtualenv
- In Python 3.5:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo pip install virtualenv
You can then create the virtual environment by typing:
.. code-block:: bash
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python<version> <virtualenv_name>
# activate the virtual environment
source <virtualenv_name>/bin/activate
where ``<version>`` is the python version you want to use (select between ``2.7`` or ``3.5``), and ``<virtualenv_name>`` is a name of your choice for the virtual environment. For instance, it can be ``py2.7`` or ``py3.5``.
To deactivate the virtual environment, just type:
.. code-block:: bash
deactivate
2. clone this repository and install the requirements by executing the ``setup.py``
In Python 2.7:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/robotlearn/pyrobolearn
cd pyrobolearn
pip install numpy cython
pip install http://github.com/cornellius-gp/gpytorch/archive/alpha.zip # this is for Python 2.7
pip install -e . # this will install pyrobolearn as well as the required packages (so no need for: pip install -r requirements.txt)
In Python 3.5:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/robotlearn/pyrobolearn
cd pyrobolearn
pip install numpy cython
pip install gpytorch # this is for Python 3.5
pip install -e . # this will install pyrobolearn as well as the required packages (so no need for: pip install -r requirements.txt)
Depending on your computer configuration and the python version you use, you might need to install also the following packages through ``apt-get``:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt install python-tk # if python 2.7
sudo apt install python3-tk # if python 3.5
