***cadCAD*** is a Python package that assists in the processes of designing, testing and validating complex systems through simulation, with support for Monte Carlo methods, A/B testing and parameter sweeping. 

# Getting Started
## 1. Installation: 
Requires [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) 

**Option A: Install Using [pip](https://pypi.org/project/cadCAD/)** 
```bash
pip3 install cadCAD
```

**Option B:** Build From Source
```
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
pip3 install dist/*.whl
```

 
## 2. Learn the basics
**Tutorials:** available both as [Jupyter Notebooks](tutorials) 
and [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJEiYHRWA9g&list=PLmWm8ksQq4YKtdRV-SoinhV6LbQMgX1we) 

Familiarize yourself with some system modelling concepts and cadCAD terminology.

## 3. Documentation:
* [System Model Configuration](documentation)
* [System Simulation Execution](documentation/Simulation_Execution.md)
* [Policy Aggregation](documentation/Policy_Aggregation.md)
* [System Model Parameter Sweep](documentation/System_Model_Parameter_Sweep.md)
