MuJoCo: Difference between revisions

''MuJoCo stands for Multi-Joint dynamics with Contact. It is a physics engine aiming to facilitate research and development in robotics, biomechanics, graphics and animation, and other areas where fast and accurate simulation is needed.<ref>http://www.mujoco.org/</ref>''

It is frequently used with the associated Python module <code>mujoco_py</code> as an environment for reinforcement learning (RL) research.

~/.mujoco/mjkey.txt. This key is obtained by e-mail after registration.

The appropriate (Linux) MuJoCo distribution must also be downloaded and unzipped into the ~/.mujoco directory from the ''Download'' section of the [https://www.roboti.us/index.html MuJoCo website].

The Python interface to MuJoCo is the <code>mujoco_py</code> module. Getting it to work requires some special steps because library paths need to be patched.

After using <code>module</code> to load the desired Python version, you should set up a clean virtual environment:

1. Install the <code>mujoco_py</code> module.

2. Patch the paths with setrpaths.sh. Use the appropriate python version in the commands below if it is not 3.5:

3. Run the following command:

It should have crashed, but the necessary paths will have been reated to run:

After that last command, mujoco_py should be ready to use in the virtual environment. If everything is installed correctly, the command below should run without any errors:
