Installation
============
Prerequisites
-------------
Stable-Baselines3 requires python 3.9+ and PyTorch >= 2.3
Windows
~~~~~~~
We recommend using `Anaconda <https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/windows.html>`_ for Windows users for easier installation of Python packages and required libraries. You need an environment with Python version 3.8 or above.
For a quick start you can move straight to installing Stable-Baselines3 in the next step.
.. note::
Trying to create Atari environments may result to vague errors related to missing DLL files and modules. This is an
issue with atari-py package. `See this discussion for more information <https://github.com/openai/atari-py/issues/65>`_.
Stable Release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install Stable Baselines3 with pip, execute:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install stable-baselines3[extra]
.. note::
Some shells such as Zsh require quotation marks around brackets, i.e. ``pip install 'stable-baselines3[extra]'`` `More information <https://stackoverflow.com/a/30539963>`_.
This includes an optional dependencies like Tensorboard, OpenCV or ``ale-py`` to train on Atari games. If you do not need those, you can use:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install stable-baselines3
.. note::
If you need to work with OpenCV on a machine without a X-server (for instance inside a docker image),
you will need to install ``opencv-python-headless``, see `issue #298 <https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3/issues/298>`_.
Bleeding-edge version
---------------------
.. code-block:: bash
pip install git+https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3
with extras:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install "stable_baselines3[extra,tests,docs] @ git+https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3"
Development version
-------------------
To contribute to Stable-Baselines3, with support for running tests and building the documentation.
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3 && cd stable-baselines3
pip install -e .[docs,tests,extra]
Using Docker Images
-------------------
If you are looking for docker images with stable-baselines already installed in it,
we recommend using images from `RL Baselines3 Zoo <https://github.com/DLR-RM/rl-baselines3-zoo>`_.
Otherwise, the following images contained all the dependencies for stable-baselines3 but not the stable-baselines3 package itself.
They are made for development.
Use Built Images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GPU image (requires `nvidia-docker`_):
.. code-block:: bash
docker pull stablebaselines/stable-baselines3
CPU only:
.. code-block:: bash
docker pull stablebaselines/stable-baselines3-cpu
Build the Docker Images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Build GPU image (with nvidia-docker):
.. code-block:: bash
make docker-gpu
Build CPU image:
.. code-block:: bash
make docker-cpu
Note: if you are using a proxy, you need to pass extra params during
build and do some `tweaks`_:
.. code-block:: bash
--network=host --build-arg HTTP_PROXY=http://your.proxy.fr:8080/ --build-arg http_proxy=http://your.proxy.fr:8080/ --build-arg HTTPS_PROXY=https://your.proxy.fr:8080/ --build-arg https_proxy=https://your.proxy.fr:8080/
Run the images (CPU/GPU)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run the nvidia-docker GPU image
.. code-block:: bash
docker run -it --runtime=nvidia --rm --network host --ipc=host --name test --mount src="$(pwd)",target=/home/mamba/stable-baselines3,type=bind stablebaselines/stable-baselines3 bash -c 'cd /home/mamba/stable-baselines3/ && pytest tests/'
Or, with the shell file:
.. code-block:: bash
./scripts/run_docker_gpu.sh pytest tests/
Run the docker CPU image
.. code-block:: bash
docker run -it --rm --network host --ipc=host --name test --mount src="$(pwd)",target=/home/mamba/stable-baselines3,type=bind stablebaselines/stable-baselines3-cpu bash -c 'cd /home/mamba/stable-baselines3/ && pytest tests/'
Or, with the shell file:
.. code-block:: bash
./scripts/run_docker_cpu.sh pytest tests/
Explanation of the docker command:
- ``docker run -it`` create an instance of an image (=container), and
run it interactively (so ctrl+c will work)
- ``--rm`` option means to remove the container once it exits/stops
(otherwise, you will have to use ``docker rm``)
- ``--network host`` don't use network isolation, this allow to use
tensorboard/visdom on host machine
- ``--ipc=host`` Use the host systems IPC namespace. IPC (POSIX/SysV IPC) namespace provides
separation of named shared memory segments, semaphores and message
queues.
- ``--name test`` give explicitly the name ``test`` to the container,
otherwise it will be assigned a random name
- ``--mount src=...`` give access of the local directory (``pwd``
command) to the container (it will be map to ``/home/mamba/stable-baselines``), so
all the logs created in the container in this folder will be kept
- ``bash -c '...'`` Run command inside the docker image, here run the tests
(``pytest tests/``)
