 In order to use `pymdp` to build and develop active inference agents, we recommend installing it with the the package installer [`pip`](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/), which will install `pymdp` locally as well as its dependencies. This can also be done in a virtual environment (e.g. with `venv`).
