Installation

Requirements

DEAP is compatible with Python 2 and 3.

The most basic features of DEAP requires Python 2.6. In order to combine the toolbox and the multiprocessing module Python 2.7 is needed for its support to pickle partial functions.

The computation distribution requires SCOOP.

CMA-ES requires Numpy, and we recommend matplotlib for visualization of results as it is fully compatible with DEAP’s API.

Install DEAP

We encourage you to use easy_install or pip to install DEAP on your system. Linux package managers like apt-get, yum, etc. usually provide an outdated version.

easy_install deap

or

pip deap

If you wish to build from sources, download or clone the repository and type:

python setup.py install
