Installing ML-Agents for Windows

To get ML-Agents working with Windows, you will need to have Windows 10 installed. While it is possible for ML-Agents to work on other versions of Windows, we have only tested with a local installation of Windows 10 (not using VM like Bootcamp or Parallels)

Step 1: Install Nvidia CUDA toolkit

Download 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. You can select the latest or previous releases. In this guide, we are using version 9.1.85.3 (direct link).

Before installing, please make sure you close any running instances of Unity or Visual Studio.

Step 2: Install Nvidia cuDNN library

Download and install the cuDNN library from Nvidia. cuDNN is is a GPU-accelerated library of primitives for deep neural networks. Before you can download, you will need to sign up for free to the Nvidia Developer Program.

Once you've signed up, go back to the cuDNN downloads page. 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 7.1.1 for CUDA toolkit version 9.1+ (direct link).
