Here's what worked for me.

Background

Mujoco must be installed, working and with a valid key. I'll assume you've done that bit.

Mujoco-py uses cythonize to compile code. For that to work you need a working set of build tools. You might already have these if you have Visual Studio installed.

If you don't have visual studio installed (and don't want to install the giant IDE) you can download just the build tools and install them. (Note it will default to also installing the Windows SDK, but I didn't need that and it saved several GB of disk space by not including it during the install process)

Once that is installed you should have a new terminal installed called x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017. You should be able to find and launch that from the windows menu.

Perform the rest of these commands in that window.

Install

Clone this repository and move into the directory.

git clone git@github.com:openai/mujoco-py.git
cd mujoco-py

Make sure your setup tools are up to date

python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools

Install both regular and dev dependencies for mujoco-py

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.dev.txt

Now install mujoco-py

python setup.py install

If this completes successfully you should be able to run the examples

python examples\body_interaction.py

Troubleshooting

I had an old partially compiled version of mujoco_py in my pythonpath that was very confusing. I uninstalled mujoco-py and then had to manually delete the mujoco-py directory from c:\users\<USER>\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages

I was then able to follow the above.

Mis-configured versions of Visual Studio may also cause problems as would an out-of-date setuptools.

Hi, @iandanforth ,

I have fully followed all the steps you have indicated below. All is properly installed, but when I run the example body_interaction.py I get the following error:
cl.exe failed with exit status 2
Why does this error appear?

Thanks in advance!

Follow these steps to install on Windows:

mkdir %userprofile%\.mujoco

extract mjpro150_win64.zip in %userprofile%\.mujoco

Copy mjkey.txt %userprofile%\.mujoco\mjkey.txt
Copy mjkey.txt %userprofile%\.mujoco\mjpro150\bin\mjkey.txt

Activate your Python env in which you want to install.

SET PATH=%userprofile%\.mujoco\mjpro150\bin;%PATH%;

Install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools 2015: https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/f/7/5f7acaeb-8363-451f-9425-68a90f98b238/visualcppbuildtools_full.exe?fixForIE=.exe

Check Windows 8.1 SDK and Windows 10 SDK options

Use Visual C++ 2015 x64 Native Build Tools Command Prompt in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools - https://stackoverflow.com/a/45918595/7448860

cd "C:\Users\USER\Downloads\Compressed\mujoco-py-master"

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.dev.txt
python setup.py install
 
import mujoco_py

Enjoy!! :)

Troubleshooting

I had an old partially compiled version of mujoco_py in my pythonpath that was very confusing. I uninstalled mujoco-py and then had to manually delete the mujoco-py directory from c:\users\<USER>\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages

Mis-configured versions of Visual Studio may also cause problems as would an out-of-date setuptools.

hi! when i type "pip install -r requirements.txt" this command, it appears "ERROR: Could not open requirements file:". so i find another approach. "pip freeze > requirements.txt" should be first typed. however, the another error "refuse to access" appears.
i've changed the permission of the directory.
Does anybody know how can I solve it? need help
