how to install alpha chess zero

[geo17007]

can anyone make a video of how to install alpha zero to arena or a step by step guide??

[Akababa]

Do the instructions in readme not work?

[geo17007]

nope... didnt work.it's a little bit confusing! i much appreciate if you do a video or step by step guide.ty for your response

[Akababa]

It should be really simple, just make a new engine in Arena and browse to C0uci.bat where you cloned the repo. (rename it to .sh if you're on linux)

If that still doesn't work can you open the debug window in Arena (F4) and show it here? Thanks

[StormXploit]

For me it doesn't work to. I download everything. I rename COuci becuz I'm on Linux. I exe the script but it doesn't work. Help me too pks

File src/chess_zero/run. Py, line 13 in module
MP set start method (,spawn)

[StormXploit]

Ok but i'm on linux

[brianprichardson]

xboard is a CECP command, not UCI. Make sure you have specified UCI for the engines you want to run. Also, running a Python engine under Arena is a separate and tricky issue, so the xboard command may be triggered by not processing the python command first, and then Arena defaulting to CECP. Suggest searching on talkchess for posts about running Python engines. Just noticed the .bat try putting everything in quotes if on Windows.

[geo17007]

ty for your response brian but i think i just try to run that engine like others....not with python..!i think i have to study a lot...

[Akababa]

That's weird how it says python isn't found... can you run python -V?

[StormXploit]

Yes

[StormXploit]

Very strange

[StormXploit]

Can you create a discord server ? The interaction will be easier if think

[Akababa]

Ok. IDK how often I will check discord though

[brianprichardson]

@geo17007 You might look here to just run everything under Python:

[StormXploit]

I've installed chess arena but i've always the same problem. Someone can help me to resolve it please

[geo17007]

your link brian isnt worked...404 not found

[brianprichardson]

I have had trouble posting links before.
Copy it and paste it and it should work, or just google it.

Anyone successfully implemented this program into any UCI Chess GUI...?!
@Akababa : Is it possible to implement this program in WinBoard using polyglot uci adapter...?! If it is possible, then please provide step by step procedure to do it. It'll be better if you make video and provide the link of the video. Thanks in advance!!
