Module 2.2 OpenAI Gym Installation #3

Closed gutfeeling closed 4 years ago

gutfeeling commented 4 years ago
  1. In this lesson, I am going to show you how to install OpenAI Gym on Ubuntu.
  2. If you use other linux flavors or MacOS, the steps are the same. However, the way you install the system libraries and the list of required system libraries is different. I will talk about where you can find the list of required system libraries when I demonstrate that part of the installation.
  3. Gym does not officially support Windows. So I recommend that you use Linux or MacOS for this course. If you insist on using Windows, I have included a link in the lecture notes which might help you.

I am on a freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver system. Ubuntu 18.04 includes Python 3.

Installation steps
