OK I managed to install mujoco-py from source code using pip3 install -e .
But now when I import mujoco-py into my code, I get the same error:

I found what I did wrong.
I put the mjpro150 folder in /.mujoco instead of ~/.mujoco
The latter is the right address. Maybe someone will find that useful.

[HassamSheikh]

getting the same error. You meant making a ./mujoco folfer in the home directory? right?

[MariaEckstein]

I am having the same error, and moving mjpro150 to ~./mujoco did not help. Any ideas?

[raghada]

Same here

[christianjcc]

am experiencing the same issue I have my mjkey.txt file in the following directory,

~/.mujoco/mjpro150/mjkey.txt

Was anyone able to resolve the issue? Any insight would be appreciated.

[TheSpaceSheep]

Here is what I did wrong : when unzipping the installation folder, it created a new directory so that my path was ~/.mujoco/mujoco200/mujoco200_linux instead of ~/.mujoco/mujoco200.

Copy-pasting all the files to the parent directory solved the issue.

Installing the following developmental header worked for me ,
$ sudo apt-get install libosmesa6-dev

[MartinaRuocco]

for me, it worked following this alas installing python3.x-dev (in my case, 3.7)
