installation error help

[ImShoes]

Trying to install and having some errors, I've never used bash before and I'm new to python so I'm having some trouble with figuring out what to do.

                      If errors are about `bash` command not found, You have at least two options to fix this:
                       1. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL. Tested on WSL 2). Note that installation with WSL
                          may seem especially slow/stuck, but it is not; it is just a bit slow.
                       2. Install bash along some other tools. E.g., git will come with bash: https://git-scm.com/downloads .
                          After installation, you may have to update environment variables to include a path which contains
                          'bash.exe'. For above git tools, this is [installation-dir]/bin.
                      After installation, you should have 'bash' command in your command line/powershell.

                      If errors are about "could not create work tree dir...", try cloning the MineRL repository
                      to a different location and try installation again.

Hey! Have you installed WSL on your Windows system? I am not sure what bash installation the setup is trying to use but it seems like many of its commands is failing. WSL is the most robust way of doing things.

[ImShoes]

Yes I do have WSL and bash is working properly it seems, I can open terminal and type bash and it will start running.

[Miffyli]

hmm that is bizzare and not sure what to say :/. What happens if you call bash on the Windows side? It should launch the WSL and call bash in there. There might be some other installation of bash on your machine which gets called instead.

Beyond this I am at a loss of tips to give, as these are errors I have not seen before. Maybe checking the WSL distribution is a good idea; I have only tested this on WSL 2 with Ubuntu.

[ImShoes]

Yeah when I call bash in the windows terminal it launches WSL. If I call bash when already in WSL it doesn't do anything. I checked my distribution and am running WSL 2 with Ubuntu

      You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
      changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
      state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

      If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
      do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

        git switch -c <new-branch-name>

      Or undo this operation with:

        git switch -

      Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

I just updated Ubuntu and Bash and installed JDK to Bash and got this error instead. Something new, making progress.

[Miffyli]

hmm the first error-like messages in this log suggest the Java installation is off (I have only tested with oracle JDK and openjdk), or that the webpage is unreachable (complains something about the certificates). I would maybe try running it again now or then try using openjdk or oracle JDK.

@Miffyli @ImShoes Hi all, I wanted to ask if you had found any solution to this. I am running into the same issue posted in the first comment. I have WSL 2 with Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and am also trying to install this on Windows

[Miffyli]

@bchen0 I paste the full error log, please. The usual culprit is wrong version of java/javac (JDK 8 is required). You need to install this both on Windows and WSL side.

[bchen0]

Hi @Miffyli - I've attached the full error log below. I've installed java / javac on both Windows and WSL. When I check via java -version and javac -version, I see that I have version 1.8.0_361 installed on windows and 1.8.0_362 installed on WSL 2. minerl_error.txt

[Miffyli]

The first few lines suggest there is something off in your Python installation or in your WSL installation, since it says it has no permissions to run things in the directory where code was copied into. I am not sure how to support here; you could try removing the directory (/mnt/c/Users/Brian/AppData/Local/Temp/pip-req-build-rhls_tnc/minerl), but you might need to try to reinstall Python and WSL.

[bchen0]

Thanks, reinstalling WSL did the trick. Maybe it was an issue with having WSL 1 originally then upgrading rather than starting from scratch and installing WSL2. Or installing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS instead of Ubuntu. In any case, I think I'm all set - thanks!
