MIDCA Version 1.4: User manual and tutorial for the Metacognitive Integrated Dual-Cycle Architecture (https://tinyurl.com/midcadoc)

0. (Recommended, but optional) Use a virtualenv before installing MIDCA:

   cd midca/
   python3 -m venv .env
   source .env/bin/activate
   

   Make sure to source .env/bin/activate whenever you open a new terminal to run MIDCA. If you are running MIDCA from PyCharm it should automatically detect the environment and use that version of python.

1. To install MIDCA, run the setup.py file:

   python setup.py install
   

   If you will be making changes to MIDCA's code, use the develop option, like the following:

   python setup.py develop
   

2. For a simple interactive version of MIDCA, run

   cd midca/
   python examples/cogsci_demo.py
   

3. To see how the MIDCA instantiation used in cogsci_demo.py is created and populated, see examples/cogsci_demo.py

4. For an overview of MIDCA and more details about how it works, see the github wiki (https://github.com/COLAB2/midca/wiki) and/or docs folder.
