To download jMetalPy just clone the Git repository hosted in GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/jMetal/jMetalPy.git
python setup.py install

Alternatively, you can install it with pip:

pip install jmetalpy

Examples of configuring and running all the included algorithms are located in the examples folder.

The current release of jMetalPy (v1.5.0) contains the following components:

• Algorithms: local search, genetic algorithm, evolution strategy, simulated annealing, random search, NSGA-II, NSGA-III, SMPSO, OMOPSO, MOEA/D, MOEA/D-DRA, MOEA/D-IEpsilon, GDE3, SPEA2, HYPE, IBEA. Preference articulation-based algorithms; G-NSGA-II and SMPSO/RP; Dynamic versions of NSGA-II and SMPSO.
• Parallel computing based on Apache Spark and Dask.
• Benchmark problems: ZDT1-6, DTLZ1-2, FDA, LZ09, LIR-CMOP, unconstrained (Kursawe, Fonseca, Schaffer, Viennet2), constrained (Srinivas, Tanaka).
• Encodings: real, binary, permutations.
• Operators: selection (binary tournament, ranking and crowding distance, random, nary random, best solution), crossover (single-point, SBX), mutation (bit-blip, polynomial, uniform, random).
• Quality indicators: hypervolume, additive epsilon, GD, IGD.
• Pareto front plotting for problems with two or more objectives (as scatter plot/parallel coordinates/chordplot) in real-time, static or interactive.
• Experiment class for performing studies either alone or alongside jMetal.
• Pairwise and multiple hypothesis testing for statistical analysis, including several frequentist and Bayesian testing methods, critical distance plots and posterior diagrams.
