Tutorials

Tutorials are Python notebooks with detailed explanations of pyribs usage. They may be run locally or on Google Colab. Each tutorial page has a link to open the tutorial in Google Colab.

Algorithms

These tutorials demonstrate how to use the key algorithms in pyribs. We recommend that new users start with the lunar lander tutorial and one or more of the other algorithm tutorials.

Applications

The following tutorials show how pyribs can implement a variety of algorithms for different problems.

Running Locally

If you would like to run the tutorials locally, follow these instructions:

  1. Download the notebooks from GitHub here.

  2. Install Jupyter Lab:

    pip install jupyterlab
    
  3. Start Jupyter Lab. This should open a window in your browser.

    jupyter lab
    
  4. Open the notebook from within the Jupyter Lab browser window.

Note that each notebook contains cell magic that installs the dependencies it needs for execution, so even if you have not installed the dependencies on your own, running the notebook will install the dependencies for you.
