Need admin/'root' permissions/privileges to install pommerman #203

Closed maym2104 closed 5 years ago

maym2104 commented 5 years ago

It appears that we need admin privilege on Windows and equivalents on Linux systems to install pommerman with: pip install . even though we are installing in a virtual environment or a conda environment.

It is not a problem on my own machine, but on clusters where I do not have such privileges, I cannot install using the command above. A workaround is python setup.py install but I need to uninstall pommerman before reinstalling to update the env version with my changes, because otherwise, it won't update.

@maym2104 I just did a fresh install in a new environment and did not come across this permissions issue. Can you give a full trace of the error? Including steps that led you to this?

Ok turns out I could not reproduce it on Windows but could on the cluster (CentOS). image

Steps: virtualenv testenv source testenv/bin/activate git clone https://github.com/MultiAgentLearning/playground cd playground pip install -U .

If I can reproduce it on Windows or on local Ubuntu I will let you know but it might be an issue of the cluster server only... I already contacted a support guy of the cluster but he could not reproduce it.

Ok I could install it when I clone it directly in my home space... Must be the permissions of the specific space (scratch) I was using. Thank you for your help and sorry to have bothering you guys about that.
