Installation

Welcome to MineRL! This guide will get you started.

To start using the MineRL dataset and Gym environments comprising MineRL, you’ll need to install the main python package, minerl.

1. First make sure you have JDK 1.8 installed on your system.

   1. Windows installer – On windows go this link and follow the instructions to install JDK 8.

   2. On Mac, you can install java8 using homebrew and AdoptOpenJDK (an open source mirror, used here to get around the fact that Java8 binaries are no longer available directly from Oracle):

      brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk
      brew install --cask adoptopenjdk8
      

   3. On Debian based systems (Ubuntu!) you can run the following:

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
      

2. Now install the minerl package!:

   pip3 install --upgrade minerl
   

Note

You may need the user flag: pip3 install --upgrade minerl --user to install properly.
