In this chapter, we went through the step-by-step setup process to install and configure our development environment using conda, OpenAI Gym, and Pytorch! This chapter helped us make sure that we have all the required tools and libraries installed to start developing our agents in Gym environments. In the next chapter, we will explore the features of Gym environments to understand how they work, and how we can use them to train our agents. In Chapter 5, Implementing Your First Learning Agent – Solving the Mountain Car Problem, we will jump right into developing our first reinforcement learning agent to solve the mountain car problem! We will then gradually move on and implement more sophisticated reinforcement learning algorithms in the subsequent chapters.

Overview of this book
Many real-world problems can be broken down into tasks that require a series of decisions to be made or actions to be taken. The ability to solve such tasks without a machine being programmed requires a machine to be artificially intelligent and capable of learning to adapt. This book is an easy-to-follow guide to implementing learning algorithms for machine software agents in order to solve discrete or continuous sequential decision making and control tasks.
Hands-On Intelligent Agents with OpenAI Gym takes you through the process of building intelligent agent algorithms using deep reinforcement learning starting from the implementation of the building blocks for configuring, training, logging, visualizing, testing, and monitoring the agent. You will walk through the process of building intelligent agents from scratch to perform a variety of tasks. In the closing chapters, the book provides an overview of the latest learning environments and learning algorithms, along with pointers to more resources that will help you take your deep reinforcement learning skills to the next level.
