Minari is a Python library for conducting research in offline reinforcement learning, akin to an offline version of Gymnasium or an offline RL version of HuggingFace's datasets library.
The documentation website is at minari.farama.org. We also have a public discord server (which we use for Q&A and to coordinate development work) that you can join here: https://discord.gg/bnJ6kubTg6.
To install Minari from PyPI:
pip install minari
This will install the minimum required dependencies. Additional dependencies will be prompted for installation based on your use case. To install all dependencies at once, use:
pip install "minari[all]"
If you'd like to start testing or contribute to Minari please install this project from source with:
git clone https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Minari.git
cd Minari
pip install -e ".[all]"
To check available remote datasets:
minari list remote
To download a dataset:
minari download D4RL/door/human-v2
To check available local datasets:
minari list local
To show the details of a dataset:
minari show D4RL/door/human-v2
For the list of commands:
minari --help
import minari
dataset = minari.load_dataset("D4RL/door/human-v2")
for episode_data in dataset.iterate_episodes():
observations = episode_data.observations
actions = episode_data.actions
rewards = episode_data.rewards
terminations = episode_data.terminations
truncations = episode_data.truncations
infos = episode_data.infos
...
import minari
import gymnasium as gym
from minari import DataCollector
env = gym.make('FrozenLake-v1')
env = DataCollector(env)
for _ in range(100):
env.reset()
done = False
while not done:
action = env.action_space.sample() # <- use your policy here
obs, rew, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
done = terminated or truncated
dataset = env.create_dataset("frozenlake/test-v0")
For other examples, see Basic Usage. For a complete tutorial on how to create new datasets using Minari, see our Pointmaze D4RL Dataset tutorial, which re-creates the Maze2D datasets from D4RL.
