# Getting Started ## Running experiments We begin with a quick tutorial on downloading datasets and running experiments. Before beginning, make sure you are at the base repo path: ```sh $ cd {/path/to/robomimic} ``` ### Step 1: Download dataset Download the robosuite **Lift (PH)** dataset (see [this link](../datasets/robomimic_v0.1.html#proficient-human-ph) for more information on this dataset): ```sh $ python robomimic/scripts/download_datasets.py --tasks lift --dataset_types ph ``` The dataset can be found at `datasets/lift/ph/low_dim.hdf5` ### Step 2: Launch experiment Now, we will run an experiment using `train.py`. In this case we would like to run behavior cloning (BC) for the lift dataset we just downloaded. ```sh $ python robomimic/scripts/train.py --config robomimic/exps/templates/bc.json --dataset datasets/lift/ph/low_dim.hdf5 --debug ```
Running quick sanity check experiments
Make sure to add the `--debug` flag to your experiments as a sanity check that your implementation works.Warning!
This example [requires robosuite](./installation.html#robosuite) to be installed (under the `offline_study` branch), but it can be run without robosuite by disabling rollouts in `robomimic/exps/templates/bc.json`: simply change the `experiment.rollout.enabled` flag to `false`.
