Running the simulation locally

[vidullan]

Was watching the intro video and it was mentioned that the simulation could be run locally. When I try to run the simulation launch file it crashes as the markov python package has many paths that rely on s3_boto_data_store.py

Is it possible for you to provide a version of this repo (or a tutorial) that runs on a local machine or do we have to figure this out ourselves?

Thanks.

@vidullan - It is possible to run locally and still use the s3_boto_data_store.py. Compute will happen locally but persistance will take place in S3. If you want to also store checkpoints locally, which is completely understandable you will have to write your own data_store file. rl_coach supports S3 and local (NFS) data stores: https://nervanasystems.github.io/coach/components/data_stores/index.html

Does anyone figured out how to do it?
