Gym: Cannot build doom-py in Ubuntu 16.04

[davecerr]

I have followed the following instructions:

1 sudo apt-get update
2 sudo apt-get upgrade
3 install anaconda python 2.7
4 install pytorch for python 2.7
5 install OpenAI as follows:

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/openai/gym
cd gym
pip install -e.
sudo apt-get install -y python-numpy python-dev cmake zlib1g-dev xvfb libav-tools xorg-dev python-opengl libboost-all-dev libsdl2-dev swig
pip install -e '.[all]'

Problem 1: keep getting an error when using pip install -e '.[all]' that it won't work so I read online to use pip install gym[all] instead but this gives the following error:
Requirement already satisfied: gym[all] in /home/david/gym
Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.10.4 in /home/david/anaconda3/envs/python2/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from gym[all])

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-EiZ5zy/mujoco-py/

Because some users said mujoco requires a $500 license and isn't really necessary, I Ignored this. Moving on with the instructions I then used
6 pip install ppaquette-gym-doom
7 conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg=3.2.4
8 Install doom_py using the following:
```
git clone https://github.com/openai/doom-py.git
sudo apt-get install -y python-numpy cmake zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libboost-all-dev gcc libsdl2-dev wget unip
cd doom-py
python setup.py build
pip install -e.

After the second last command (python setup.py build), I get the following output in my terminal:

running build

-- filesystem

CMake Deprecation Warning at cmake_modules/CreateLaunchers.cmake:48 (cmake_policy):
The OLD behavior for policy CMP0026 will be removed from a future version
of CMake.

The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
specific short-term circumstances. Projects should be ported to the NEW
behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

I am totally lost and have been doing nothing but trying to get this to work for the best part of a week. I don't understand the problem here or why it is so much more complicated than other installations? Can anybody offer any ideas?

[albb762]

same error

[KiaraGrouwstra]

Same error, except following https://github.com/mwydmuch/ViZDoom/blob/master/doc/Building.md#-linux. Installing by pip as suggested there did it for me.

[lightnarcissus]

Same issue! Has anybody been able to resolve this yet?

[christopherhesse]

This looks like an issue with doom-py which is not currently maintained (https://github.com/openai/doom-py). Fortunately VizDoom now offers a python package, so please use that instead: https://github.com/mwydmuch/ViZDoom/blob/master/doc/Building.md#pypi
