+# Training PPO with decentralized averaging
+
+This tutorial will walk you through the steps to set up collaborative training of an off-policy reinforcement learning algorighm [PPO](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.06347.pdf) to play Atari Breakout. It uses [stable-baselines3 implementation of PPO](https://stable-baselines3.readthedocs.io/en/master/modules/ppo.html), hyperparameters for the algorithm are taken from [rl-baselines3-zoo](https://github.com/DLR-RM/rl-baselines3-zoo/blob/master/hyperparams/ppo.yml), collaborative training is built on `hivemind.Optimizer` to exchange information between peers.
+
+## Preparation
+
+* Install hivemind: `pip install git+https://github.com/learning-at-home/hivemind.git`
+* Dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+
+## Running an experiment
+
+### First peer
+Run the first DHT peer to welcome trainers and record training statistics (e.g., loss and performance):
+- In this example, we use [tensorboard](https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard) to plot training metrics. If you're unfamiliar with Tensorboard, here's a [quickstart tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard/get_started).
+- Run `python3 ppo.py`
+
+```
+$ python3 ppo.py
+To connect other peers to this one, use --initial_peers /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/41926/p2p/QmUmiebP4BxdEPEpQb28cqyhaheDugFRn7M
