These installation instructions are created for Ubuntu 20.04. If you are using a different OS you made need to make some changes to the installing instructions.
sudo apt-get install libosmesa6-dev
sudo apt-get install patchelf
There are two options:
A. (Recommended) Install with conda:
1. Install conda, if you don't already have it, by following the instructions at [this link](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/)
```
This install will modify the `PATH` variable in your bashrc.
You need to open a new terminal for that path change to take place (to be able to find 'conda' in the next step).
2. Create a conda environment that will contain python 3:
```
conda create -n roble python=3.8
```
3. activate the environment (do this every time you open a new terminal and want to run code):
```
source activate roble
```
4. Install the requirements into this conda environment
```
pip install --user -r requirements.txt
```
This conda environment requires activating every time you open a new terminal (in order to run code), but the benefit is that the required dependencies for this codebase will not affect existing/other versions of things on your computer. This stand-alone environment will have everything that is necessary.
B. Install on system Python:
pip install -r requirements.txt cd <path_to_hw1> pip install -e .
If you run into issues with installing mujoco-py (especially on MacOS), here are a few common pointers to help:
- If you run into GCC issues, consider switching to GCC7 (
brew install gcc@7) - Try this if you run into developer verification issues (use due diligence when granting permissions to code from unfamiliar sources)
- StackOverflow is your friend, feel free to shamelessly look up your error and get in touch with your classmates or instructors
- If nothing works and you are frustrated beyond repair, consider using the Docker or Colab version of the homework!
