Hmm seems like a Python 3 issue with mujoco. Relevant OpenAI Gym issue openai/mujoco-py#43. This may be due to Gym moving to 3.6, while this repo is still on 3.5. I'll experiment.

Same issue for me. Looks like the muJoCo package is commercial and they have some cumbersome licensing mechanism that requires running a strange application to gather a computer ID, etc. etc. I'd recommend pulling the mujoco package from this installer as your script fundamentally doesn't work now.

[ha7008]

I am using Catalina 10.15.3 on a macbook air.

I had multiple problems installing everything, but to be able to install MuJoCo I had to get their license through their website ( https://www.roboti.us/license.html )
Fortunately I'm a student so I could get it for free. After that I downloaded MuJoCo200 from the website for mac and I had to use the terminal to UNZIP it the right way and put the license in the right place. They say this on their github ( https://github.com/openai/mujoco-py ), but it wasn't very clear how to do it, what commands to use etc, so I googled that.

Before I could install MuJoCo though, I had to install gcc using " brew install gcc " which took a very long time (more than an hour, maybe two) but solved most of my problems. (And for this you first need to install homebrew but I had it installed since before) Don't panic if it seems like the computer "stops" and does nothing while installing gcc, it is still working. And it also it gets really hot so if you have an external computer fan that might be good to use.

After installing gcc and placing all the MuJoCo-files in the right place, I could eventually install it using:
pip3 install -U 'mujoco-py<2.1,>=2.0' --no-use-pep517

the "--no-use-pep517" was needed. I don't remember exactly why but it had something to do with a new update of pip.

Also, through multiple steps I was not allowed to do things because of my macbook's security preferences (in the privacy tab), so I had to give the terminal full disc access and full access to developer tools. You do this by klicking on the lock at the bottom left corner and then choosing the terminal for both these things.

I also had to update Xcode through the appstore for some reason, I did this in the beginning of my journey, and you might have to do this too but I don't remember exactly why.

After all of this I could use Andrew's script and it worked.

I have spent near 20hrs to solve all my problems, and there might be a thing or two that I forgot, but I hope that this can help anyone who have similar problems.
