Prerequisites
-
This installation procedure assumes that you have basic knowledge about shell manipulation.
-
PyRat uses uv to manage Python and the libraries it needs.
You do not need to install Python yourself: uv takes care of it, and PyRat workspaces are configured to use Python 3.13 (Python 3.12 is also supported). -
Finally, we will test PyRat installation using Visual Studio Code (VSCode), as this is the main tool we use in the associated course. Please make sure it is already installed, or install it from the official website. Note that you can use a different tool if you want, but we just provide indications for that one here.
Install uv
If uv is not installed on your machine yet, install it as follows:
- Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh. - MacOS:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh. - Windows (PowerShell):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex".
Other installation methods are described in the uv documentation.
Then, close and reopen your terminal, and check that uv is available by running uv --version.
Setup your PyRat workspace
We are now going to create a workspace for PyRat.
This is a directory that contains minimal working examples to get started, and in which PyRat is installed.
To do so, follow these steps:
- Open a terminal, and navigate (use the
cdcommand) to the directory where you want to create your PyRat workspace. - Run the following command (it is the same on all systems):
uvx --from pyrat-game pyrat-init.
You should see something like this:
Initialized project `pyrat-workspace` at `/path/to/pyrat_workspace`
Workspace initialized as a uv project using Python >=3.12,<3.14
Workspace created in /path/to/pyrat_workspace
Using CPython 3.13.13
Creating virtual environment at: .venv
Resolved 19 packages in 132ms
Installed 18 packages in 48ms
PyRat added to the dependencies of the workspace
Workspace added to Python path
Your workspace is ready! You can now start coding your players and run games.
To run a game, go to the workspace using 'cd pyrat_workspace', then use for instance 'uv run games/sample_game.py'.
You should have a new directory called pyrat_workspace in the directory where you ran the command.
If you prefer another name, pass it to the command, as in uvx --from pyrat-game pyrat-init my_workspace.
Check your installation
Now, we are going to verify that PyRat works properly.
To do so, follow these steps:
- Open a terminal, and navigate to your workspace using
cd pyrat_workspace. - Run the sample game as follows:
uv run games/sample_game.py.
You can also run your games from VSCode.
To do so, follow these steps:
- Open VSCode, and add your
pyrat_workspacedirectory in your VSCode workspace. - Open the file
sample_game.pyin directorypyrat_workspace/games/. - Make sure VSCode is using the interpreter located in the
.venvdirectory of your workspace. - Run
sample_game.py.
In both cases, you should see something like this:
Add other libraries to your workspace
Your workspace is a uv project, so you can add any library you need to it.
To do so, run uv add from your workspace, as in uv add numpy.
The library is then available in your players and games, with no need to activate anything.
Troubleshooting
-
In case of a problem, please check the existing GitHub issues first.
-
If the problem persists, you can add an issue of your own.
-
For students at IMT Atlantique, you can also ask your questions on the Discord server of the course.
-
Finally, you can contact Bastien Pasdeloup directly.
