VGDC Unity MLAgents Workshop

Unity + Python setup

Ensure a recent version of Unity is installed

• Download Unity hub or the most recent version of Unity here

Create a folder named "MLAgentsWorkshop" Somewhere on your PC

• This step is not mandatory, however, it will help you keep track of the workshop files.
• For this workshop, we assume that you have created this folder.

Download Python version 3.7.9

• Create a folder within our MLAgentsWorkshop folder named "Python"

For Windows users:

• Navigate to https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
• Find Python 3.7.9
