Software Installation

The software is designed to work without an internet connection (except for license activation and updates).

However, it does require a Wi-Fi (recommended) or Bluetooth connection to communicate with the robot.

If you haven't purchased a license yet, you can take advantage of a 60-day trial version!

Linux Installation

  1. AlphAI is compiled to work with python 3.9 (ideally python 3.9.13). If you have a python 3.9 environment, you can use this one. If not, you can download python 3.9.13 from
    https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3913/.
    In the following instructions, the python3 command refers to this python 3.9 environment.
  2. Download a version of AlphAI software: Download the installation script.
  3. Unzip the downloaded folder to the location where you want to install AlphAI.
  4. Open a terminal and navigate to the newly created folder, for example using the command: cd AlphAI-1.8.10.11.
  5. In the terminal, run the command: python3 -m pip install -r requirements-mac.txt. This will install all the Python libraries required for the software to work.
  6. Finally, to launch the software, enter the command: sudo python3 Start_Alphai.pyc, then enter your user password. Please note that python3 must be replaced by an explicit path to the python interpreter, e.g. ./python3 or ~/Documents/AlphAI/alphaienv/bin/python3, otherwise the default interpreter will be launched.

System Requirements:

  • Ubuntu 18
  • 4 GB RAM
  • 2 GB hard drive space
  • OpenGL version ≥ 2.1
  • Internet access (only required during installation to retrieve the license)
