Installation

[EmanueleLM]

Hi,
I've some problem in reproducing the code. It's impossible to install the dependencies on vanilla Ubuntu 18.04, python3.7.

After activating the virtual env, I try to install the with pip3 install -r requirments.txtrequirments and I get this error:

Collecting matlabengineforpython===R2018a (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://pypi.org/simple/matlabengineforpython/

I know this is probably related to matlab, but this makes the experiments irreproducible.

I had a similar problem. I don't believe that matlabengineforpython is a pip package, so it cannot be installed using pip. I think it has to be installed using the instructions Matlab gives on the following page:

Is there an implementation that does not rely on matlab?
