|
|
|
|
This package is the canonical Python bindings for the
|
|
[MuJoCo physics engine](https://github.com/deepmind/mujoco).
|
|
These bindings are developed and maintained by Google DeepMind, and is kept
|
|
up-to-date with the latest developments in MuJoCo itself.
|
|
|
|
The `mujoco` package provides direct access to raw MuJoCo C API functions,
|
|
structs, constants, and enumerations. Structs are provided as Python classes,
|
|
with Pythonic initialization and deletion semantics.
|
|
|
|
It is not the aim of this package to provide fully fledged
|
|
scene/environment/game authoring API, as there are already a number of existing
|
|
packages that do this well. However, this package does provide a number of
|
|
lower-level components outside of MuJoCo itself that are likely to be useful to
|
|
most users who access MuJoCo through Python. For example, the `egl`, `glfw`, and
|
|
`osmesa` subpackages contain utilities for setting up OpenGL rendering contexts.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to install this package is via [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/mujoco/):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip install mujoco
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A copy of the MuJoCo library is provided as part of the package and does **not**
|
|
need to be downloaded or installed separately.
|
|
|
|
### Source
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT:** Building from source is only necessary if you are modifying the
|
|
Python bindings (or are trying to run on exceptionally old Linux systems).
|
|
If that's not the case, then we recommend installing the prebuilt binaries from
|
|
PyPI.
|
|
|
|
If you need to build the Python bindings from source, please consult
|
|
[the documentation](https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python.html#building-from-source).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Once installed, the package can be imported via `import mujoco`. Please consult
|
|
our [documentation](https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python.html) for
|
|
further detail on the package's API.
|
|
|
|
We recommend going through the tutorial notebook which covers the basics of
|
|
MuJoCo using Python:
|
|
[](https://colab.research.google.com/github/deepmind/mujoco/blob/main/python/tutorial.ipynb)
|
|
|
|
## Versioning
|
|
|
|
The `major.minor.micro` portion of the version number matches the version of
|
|
MuJoCo that the bindings provide. Optionally, if we release updates to the
|
|
Python bindings themselves that target the same version of MuJoCo, a `.postN`
|
|
suffix is added, for example `2.1.2.post2` represents the second update to the
|
|
bindings for MuJoCo 2.1.2.
