Installing requirements

virtualenv -p python3 venv
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Running tests

For now, add the python path to allow for relative imports. We'll try to remove this later.

PYTHONPATH=. py.test

Installing Stockfish

castle uses the Stockfish chess engine to evaluate non-terminal chess positions.

You can download Stockfish here. Unzip it and take note of the path of the executable, as you will need it later to instantiate the engine.
