By using Anaconda, you can manage separate environments for different distributions of Python. Python 3 is required as we no longer support Python 2. In this guide, we are using Python version 3.6 and Anaconda version 5.1 ([64-bit](https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-5.1.0-Windows-x86_64.exe) or [32-bit](https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-5.1.0-Windows-x86.exe) direct links).

## Step 2: Setup and Activate a New Conda Environment
You will create a new [Conda environment](https://conda.io/docs/) to be used with ML-Agents. This means that all the packages that you install are localized to just this environment. It will not affect any other installation of Python or other environments. Whenever you want to run ML-Agents, you will need activate this Conda environment.

It will not affect any other installation of Python or other environments. Whenever you want to run ML-Agents, you will need activate this Conda environment.
To create a new Conda environment, open a new Anaconda Prompt (_Anaconda Prompt_ in the search bar) and type in the following command:
If you don't want to use Git, you can always directly download all the files [here](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ml-agents/archive/master.zip).
In our example, the files are located in `C:\Downloads`. After you have either cloned or downloaded the files, from the Anaconda Prompt, change to the python directory inside the ML-agents directory:

```
cd C:\Downloads\ml-agents\python
pip install .
```
This will complete the installation of all the required Python packages to run ML-Agents.

## (Optional) GPU Training using ML-Agents
## (Optional) Step 4: GPU Training using ML-Agents
Not required to use v0.3 for ML-Agents. This is a guide for advanced users who want to train using GPUs. Additionally, you will need to check if your GPU is CUDA compatible. Please check Nvidia's page [here](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus).

## (Optional) Step 1: Install Nvidia CUDA toolkit
### Install Nvidia CUDA toolkit
<ahref="https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive"target="_blank">Download</a> and install the CUDA toolkit from Nvidia's archive. The toolkit includes GPU-accelerated libraries, debugging and optimization tools, a C/C++ compiler and a runtime library and is needed to run ML-Agents. In this guide, we are using version 8.0.61 ([direct link](https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/network_installers/cuda_8.0.61_win10_network-exe)).

Once you've signed up, go back to the cuDNN <ahref="https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn"target="_blank">downloads page</a>. You may or may not be asked to fill out a short survey. When you get to the list cuDNN releases, __make sure you are downloading the right version for the CUDA toolkit you installed in Step 1.__ In this guide, we are using version 6.0 for CUDA toolkit version 8.0 ([direct link](https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/cudnn/secure/v6/prod/8.0_20170307/cudnn-8.0-windows10-x64-v6.0-zip)).

After you have downloaded the cuDNN files, you will need to extract the files into the CUDA toolkit directory. In the cuDNN zip file, there are three folders called `bin`, `include`, and `lib`.

## (Optional) Step 3: Set Environment Variables
### Set Environment Variables
To set the environment variable, type `environment variables` in the search bar (this can be reached by hitting the Windows key or the bottom left Windows button). You should see an option called __Edit the system environment variables__.

To set the two path variables, inside the same __Environment Variables__ window and under the second box called __System Variables__, find a variable called `PATH` and click __Edit__. You will add two directories to the list. For this guide, the two entries would look like:
