General-purpose agent-based modeling framework

General purpose agent-based modeling library to integrate C++ and Python

CppyABM is a free open-source header-only library that enables agent-based modeling by providing essential tools in both C++ and Python as well as mixing both in a single model. The modeling in both C++ and Python follows similar semantics and style. Therefore, a model developed in one languages can be conveniently transferred to another. In addition, CppyABM provides binding tools to specifically expose certain parts of a model written in C++ for further development in Python. This enables users to take the advantage of both languages simultaneously. CppyABM uses RTvisualize for browser-based real-time visualization.

The documentation of the library is available here. See examples folder as showcase of CppyABM utility.

Install

For an extended version of the available installation options, see documentation.

For Python development

Using pip manager:

• pip install --upgrade cppyabm

Or, download the package and in the root folder, command:

• python3 setup.py install

For C++ development

The library can be also installed solely for C++ development using,

• git clone https://github.com/janursa/CppyABM
• cd CppyABM && mkdir build && cd build
• cmake .. -DCPP=TRUE
• make install

For Python-C++ development

In order to create a mixed model using both languages of C++ and Python, in addition to CppyABM, pybind11 needs to be installed. It can be either seperately installed according to the instruction given on pybind11-installation, or can be included in a project using Cmake. See documentation.
