# HiveX

*Real-World Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning problems, potentially yielding a high positive impact on society when solved.*

## About

The motivation of the HiveX suite is to provide advanced  reinforcement learning benchmarking environments with an emphasis on: (1) ***real-world*** scenarios, (2) ***multi-agent*** systems, (3) investigating problems and solutions with ***high impact on society***, (4) ***cooperation and communication*** mechanisms.

## Installation

`hivex` can be installed from PyPI using `pip`:

```shell
pip install hivex
```

### Manual install using conda virtual environment

The installation steps are
as follows:

1. Create and activate a virtual environment, e.g.:

    ```shell
    conda create -n hivex python=3.9
    conda activate hivex
    ```

2.  Install `hivex`:
    ```shell
    git clone -b main https://github.com/philippds/HiveX
    cd HiveX
    pip install .
    ```

3. Test the `hivex` installation:
    ```shell
    cd <hivex_root>/hivex/python/pytest
    pytest test.py
    ```
