0. Install build tools (if necessary!)

   xcode-select --install
   sudo easy_install pip
   brew install conan
   conan remote add vthiery https://api.bintray.com/conan/vthiery/conan-packages

pip install virtualenv virtualenv --python=python3 venv source venv/bin/activate ```

1. Download MtG card data

   ./run.sh

2. Put your collection of cards as a JSON file in data/collection.json as an object with card names as keys, and the quantity you own as the values. For example, if you own four Walking Balistas:

   {
     "Walking Ballista": 4
   }
   

   Be sure to use canonical card names, as reported on Gatherer or Scryfall. Split cards and two-sided cards will be formatted like "Driven // Despair" (Notice the spaces around the double-slashes).

   If you use MTG Manager on iOS, there is a script in data_builders/collection/mtg_manager_csv_to_json.py that will convert collections exported from MTG Manager to the required format

3. Build genetic algorithm

   cd ../deck_builder
   conan install .
   cmake .
   cmake --build .

4. Run the genetic algorithm

    ./bin/magique ../data collection.json

5. Deactivate virtual environment

   deactivate

• To MTG JSON for the card data.
• To MTG Decks for the decklists.
• To EDHREC for the awesome Commander data.
