Quick Start Guide

1. Get PySC2

PyPI

The easiest way to get PySC2 is to use pip:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/deepmind/pysc2

Also, you have to install baselines library.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/openai/baselines

2. Install StarCraft II

Mac / Win

You have to purchase StarCraft II and install it. Or even the Starter Edition will work.

Linux Packages

Follow Blizzard's documentation to get the linux version. By default, PySC2 expects the game to live in ~/StarCraftII/.

• 3.16.1

3. Download Maps

Download the ladder maps and the mini games and extract them to your StarcraftII/Maps/ directory.

4. Train it!

$ python train_mineral_shards.py --algorithm=a2c

5. Enjoy it!

$ python enjoy_mineral_shards.py

4-1. Train it with DQN

$ python train_mineral_shards.py --algorithm=deepq --prioritized=True --dueling=True --timesteps=2000000 --exploration_fraction=0.2

4-2. Train it with A2C(A3C)

$ python train_mineral_shards.py --algorithm=a2c --num_agents=2 --num_scripts=2 --timesteps=2000000
