Get Open AI (gym) up and running on Windows Subsystem Linux

Quick list of steps to get Open AI running on Windows

1. Activate WSL (Bash on Windows). Refer this for detailed steps.


2. Run the following commands on Bash. These replace the default libzmq3 installation with one having a bug-fix.

pip uninstall pyzmq
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aseering/wsl
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libzmq3 libzmq3-dev
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
pip install --no-use-wheel -v pyzmq
pip install jupyter

3. Install dependencies for gym:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
sudo apt-get install -y zlib1g-dev liblapack-dev libatlas-base-dev libopenblas-dev libhdf5-dev libedit-dev
pip install gym[all]
