0. (Recommended, but optional) Use a virtualenv before installing MIDCA:

   cd midca/
   python3 -m venv .env
   source .env/bin/activate
   

   Make sure to source .env/bin/activate whenever you open a new terminal to run MIDCA. If you are running MIDCA from PyCharm it should automatically detect the environment and use that version of python.

   python setup.py install
   

   If you will be making changes to MIDCA's code, use the develop option, like the following:

   python setup.py develop
   

2. For a simple interactive version of MIDCA, run

   cd midca/
   python examples/cogsci_demo.py
