ALE-Vagrant-VM

A ubuntu-based provisioning to deploy the Arcade Learning Environment with VirtualBox + Vagrant with all dependencies

Currently using ale 0.5.1

Steps to create:

• Install VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

• Install Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

• Create an env variable named ALE_ROOT that will point to the Arcade Learning Environment root. Example: echo 'export ALE_ROOT=/Users/myusername/ALE-Vagrant-VM/Arcade-Learning-Environment' >> ~/.bash_profile

• source bash_profile for the change to take effect immediately: source ~/.bash_profile

• vagrant up will start the provisioning (it might run a little long the first time as it has to download the ubuntu box image from Atlas (one-time process)

• once complete, you can get to the box by running vagrant ssh

NOTE: The repo does not have any ROMs available, they are easy to find HERE and otter places scattered around. I ran a test of the setup by running the example script from the VM:

• vagrant up
• vagrant ssh
• cd ~/arcade_env/doc/examples Note: You will need to add roms to the Arcade Learning Environment ROMs folder.
• python python_example.py ~/arcade_env/rom/Breakout.bin
