Installation

You can install tf2rl from PyPI:

$ pip install tf2rl

or, you can also install from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/keiohta/tf2rl.git tf2rl
$ cd tf2rl
$ pip install .

Preinstalled Docker Container

Instead of installing tf2rl on your (virtual) system, you can use preinstalled Docker containers.

Only the first execution requires time to download the container image.

At the following commands, you need to replace <version> with the version tag which you want to use.

CPU Only

The following simple command starts preinstalled container.

docker run -it ghcr.io/keiohta/tf2rl/cpu:<version> bash

If you also want to mount your local directory /local/dir/path at container /mount/point

docker run -it -v /local/dir/path:/mount/point ghcr.io/keiohta/tf2rl/cpu:<version> bash

GPU Support (Linux Only, Experimental)

WARNING: We encountered unsolved errors when running ApeX multiprocess learning.

Requirements

• Linux
• NVIDIA GPU
  • TF2.2 compatible driver
• Docker 19.03 or later

The following simple command starts preinstalled container.

docker run --gpus all -it ghcr.io/keiohta/tf2rl/nvidia:<version> bash

If you also want to mount your local directory /local/dir/path at container /mount/point

docker run --gpus all -it -v /local/dir/path:/mount/point ghcr.io/keiohta/tf2rl/nvidia:<version> bash

If your container can see GPU correctly, you can check inside container by the following comand;

nvidia-smi

Getting started

Here is a quick example of how to train DDPG agent on a Pendulum environment:

import gym
from tf2rl.algos.ddpg import DDPG
from tf2rl.experiments.trainer import Trainer


parser = Trainer.get_argument()
parser = DDPG.get_argument(parser)
args = parser.parse_args()

env = gym.make("Pendulum-v0")
test_env = gym.make("Pendulum-v0")
policy = DDPG(
    state_shape=env.observation_space.shape,
    action_dim=env.action_space.high.size,
    gpu=-1,  # Run on CPU. If you want to run on GPU, specify GPU number
    memory_capacity=10000,
    max_action=env.action_space.high[0],
    batch_size=32,
    n_warmup=500)
trainer = Trainer(policy, env, args, test_env=test_env)
trainer()

You can check implemented algorithms in examples. For example if you want to train DDPG agent:

# You must change directory to avoid importing local files
$ cd examples
# For options, please specify --help or read code for options
$ python run_ddpg.py [options]

You can see the training progress/results from TensorBoard as follows:

# When executing `run_**.py`, its logs are automatically generated under `./results`
$ tensorboard --logdir results
