This page will list all the necessary steps you should take before starting to work on the Demiurge project.

Set up your working environment

  • Activate all resources as described on this page, if you not have done so already.
  • Set up your workstation (see this page for more details)
  • Send your github account name to the Demiurge repository administrator (at the moment Ken)
  • Get yourself added to the Demiurge Whatsapp group
  • Give your e-mail address to Mauro, he will add you to the Demiurge mailing list

Install AutoMoDe and related software

  • Install argos3
    1. Install all prerequisites (specified at the github page)
      • You can do so by running the following command in your terminal:
      • sudo apt-get install libfreeimage-dev libfreeimageplus-dev qt5-default freeglut3-dev libxi-dev libxmu-dev liblua5.2-dev lua5.2 doxygen graphviz graphviz-dev asciidoc
    2. Download and install argos
      • Be aware that we are currently not using the most recent version but instead the release "3.0.0-beta48"
      • Get the repository:
        1. git clone git@github.com:ilpincy/argos3.git argos3, clones the repository
        2. cd argos3
        3. git checkout 3.0.0-beta48, checks out the version that we are using at the moment
      • If you are on the cluster: Change the CMake-version from 2.8.12 to 2.8.8 in the src/CMakeLists.txt file. There are two occurences that need to be replaced.
      • Prepare the build of argos3
        1. export ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH=$HOME, if you want to install argos3 into $HOME/argos3-dist (recommended on the cluster), otherwise choose the location to your liking
        2. mkdir build && cd build
        3. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DARGOS_INSTALL_LDSOCONF=OFF -DARGOS_DOCUMENTATION=OFF ../src
        4. make
        5. make doc, if you have forgotten the -DARGOS_DOCUMENTATION=OFF
        6. make install
      • Before you can install our epuck-plugin, you have to remove the default plugin first. In argos3-dist run the following commdands
        1. rm -rf $ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist/include/argos3/plugins/robots/e-puck
        2. rm -rf $ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist/lib/argos3/lib*epuck*.so
      • Add the following lines to your .bashrc (or create a separate file and source it from your .bashrc)
        1. export ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH=$HOME (or whatever you chose in the earlier step)
        2. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist/lib/pkgconfig
        3. export ARGOS_PLUGIN_PATH=$ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist/lib/argos3
        4. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ARGOS_PLUGIN_PATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        5. export PATH=$ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist/bin/:$PATH
    3. Download and install the e-puck plugin
      • Get the repository
        1. git clone git@github.com:demiurge-project/argos3-epuck.git argos3-epuck
        2. cd argos3-epuck
        3. git checkout v48
      • If you are on the cluster:
        1. Open src/plugins/robots/e-puck/CMakeLists.txt and comment the line with include(VisionTools.cmake)
        2. Open src/cmake/ARGoSBuildChecks.cmake and remove the checks for Lua and Qt/OpenGL
      • Prepare the build of the epuck-plugin
        1. mkdir build && cd build
        2. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
        3. make
        4. make install
    • If you don't want to install everything by hand this script might be useful. However you need all prerequisites installed before running the script.
  • Install AutoMoDe
    1. Download and install the loopfunctions
      1. git clone git@github.com:demiurge-project/experiments-loop-functions.git AutoMoDe-loopfunctions
      2. cd AutoMoDe-loopfunctions
      3. git checkout dev
      4. mkdir build && cd build
      5. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
      6. make
      7. make install
    2. Download and install the e-puck DAO
      1. git clone git@github.com:demiurge-project/demiurge-epuck-dao.git AutoMoDe-DAO
      2. cd AutoMoDe-DAO
      3. mkdir build && cd build
      4. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARGOS_INSTALL_PATH/argos3-dist -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
      5. make
      6. make install
    3. Download and install AutoMoDe
      1. git clone git@github.com:demiurge-project/AutoMoDe-private.git AutoMoDe
      2. cd AutoMoDe
      3. mkdir build && cd build
      4. cmake ..
      5. make
  • If you have to work on the cluster you should follow these instructions to install Argos. AutoMoDe can be installed as on your local computer.
  • In order to install irace on the cluster, follow these steps:
    1. Download the irace package
    2. Upload the .tar.gz file to your home directory in the cluster
    3. Install the R package locally
      • mkdir ~/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5/ (At the moment it is not possible to put it anywhere else)
      • Run the following command: R CMD INSTALL -l ~/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5/ irace_2.2.tar.gz
    4. Add irace to IRACE_HOME, PATH and R_LIBS path (for example in your .bashrc file with the following commands)
      • export R_LIBS_USER=~/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5
      • export IRACE_HOME=${R_LIBS_USER}/irace
      • export PATH=${IRACE_HOME}/bin/:${PATH}
      • export R_LIBS=${R_LIBS_USER}:${R_LIBS}
  • In order to install EvoStick

Proj H402 (Master 1 project)

We have an organization (in terms of GitLab group) on GitLab where we can host the git repositories for the students of PROJ-H-402. Please keep the following things in mind:

  • Students should be added as "Developer" to the repository. There should be no need to add them to the group.
  • When a student is finished with the project, please let them prepare a release. This allows us to identify the contribution of each individual student, even if two or more students work on the same repository or another student takes up the development.
