Question Can't install MLAGENTS

I've done pretty much everything that the internet says to fix these errors after pip3 installing the mlagents package, It tells me that everything was already met (requirement wise) but Then hands me this error after running mlagents-learn --help. I used most python versions and am using 3.9.12 currently, Here's the error:

Can you confirm what version of PyTorch are you using? If you have anything other than 1.7.1 I would recommend removing it and reinstalling 1.7.1 as this is the version recommended in the installation guide.
To be honest, installing ML-Agents is way more a hassle than it should be, and it's very picky about what version of Python and PyTorch it can work with, I hope the developers fix this.

 

So the issue was because I wasn't using the exact version of python that it needed
Thank you for the help though

 

Which is the correct version of python? I wish there was a list somewhere that was frequently updated with the current version of each thing to install so that everything is compatible.

 

It's a fragile, cobbled together mess of 3rd party tools that are in constant flux. I don't think the MLAgents authors are even able to tell you exactly what versions of everything you need at any given point in time on any given machine.

I particularly hate this Python dependency across the OS's we work on with our Unity projects.

 

Haha, damn it! It's so frustrating because I'm really exciting to train some ai behaviours. I've watched tutorials and have a good idea how to design the training, just can't get the stupid Python side installed properly.

 

I had the same problems:
How it worked for me was to install it from disk, with mlagents "advanced" way.

Mlagents 20
Python 3.8.16

one bug was to downgrade one package, dot remember which, after that it worked.
I also head to manually install Onix NN files, really easy too. Just follow the error events

Hope this helps you, Cheers!
