Evolutionary dynamic across hierarchy of phenotype

This guide will walk you through setting up and running this package using uv for package management and marimo for execution.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• uv package manager installed

Installation Steps

1. Create a new virtual environment using uv:

uv venv

2. Activate the virtual environment:

• On Windows:

.venv\Scripts\activate

• On Unix/Linux/macOS:

source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies from the requirements file:

uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Running simulation

Once the installation is complete, you can run the main simulation using marimo:

marimo edit main.py

This will open the notebook in your default web browser. You can then execute the cells to run the evolutionary algorithm.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

1. Ensure your virtual environment is activated (you should see (.venv) in your terminal prompt)
2. Verify all dependencies were installed correctly:

pip list

3. Check that Python version matches requirements:

python --version

Deactivating the Environment

When you're done, you can deactivate the virtual environment:

uv venv deactivate
