I'm Antoine, a software engineer at Aqora. I understand you're looking to use GitHub Codespaces, and I'd be happy to help. Which competitions are you interested in participating in?
I went through the tutorial this morning and successfully configured a virtual environment—specifically the one created by aqora template h2-groundstate-energy. Here's a step-by-step guide that worked for me:
  1. Wait for your Codespace to fully initialize (you'll see a prompt to press Enter)
  2. Install aqora using pipx install aqora-cli
  3. Choose one of these options:
    • For a new submission, run:
      aqora template [competition] .
      (replace [competition] with your chosen competition)
    • For an existing submission, run:
      aqora install
      in your submission's root directory
  4. Open the notebook (in my case, it was submission/start_here.ipynb)
  5. Click "Select Kernel" in the top-right corner
  6. Install/enable the recommended Python and Jupyter extensions
  7. From the dropdown menu, select "Python Environments..."
  8. Choose "Create Python Environment"
  9. Select "Venv Creates a .venv virtual environment in the current workspace"
  10. Finally, select "Use existing '.venv' environment with no changes to it"
You should now be able to run your notebook normally. If you need any additional assistance or have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Aqora.
Best regards,
Antoine

We are currently busy improving the Aqora extension for Visual Studio Code. We will let you know when we release a new version. In the mean time, I recommend you run aqora test from a terminal. Thank you for your feedback! 👍

Hello Matthew!
I am pleased to meet you! I am Antoine, one of Aqora's software engineers 😊
May you describe your workflow please? I am able to run the example notebook on my machine by executing these commands in a terminal:
$ aqora template quantum-signals-lob
...
🎉 Competition template downloaded to quantum-signals-lob
$ cd quantum-signals-lob
$ aqora test
...
[4362 OK] Success
Score: -3.1153113056450024
You may also run the notebook directly from the Visual Studio Code Aqora extension.
Please let us know how it goes and we will be happy to assist in any way we can.
Best,
Antoine

Hello Peter ! The BETH dataset has been primarily architected for unsupervised machine learning so the "evil" column in training is effectively always false.
