Setting up OpenAI Gym on Windows 10

I'm trying to set up OpenAI's gym on Windows 10, so that I can do machine learning with Atari games.

On PyCharm I've successfully installed gym using Settings > Project Interpreter. But when I try to set up a breakout environment (or any other Atari game) using:

import gym

env = gym.make('BreakoutDeterministic-v4')

I get the following error:

ImportError: No module named 'atari_py'

...

HINT: you can install Atari dependencies by running 'pip install gym[atari]'

So I tried the command 'pip install gym[atari]' in the PyCharm terminal, and got the error:

Unable to execute 'make build -C atari_py/ale_interface -j 11'. HINT: are you sure `make` is installed?

error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

I tried installing 'make' from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm, and tried some other methods, but this didn't solve the problem.

I've also tried 'pip install atari_py', which runs fine but also doesn't solve the problem.

Any ideas/help would be much appreciated. I'm new to Python and PyCharm, so I apologise if any of this was unclear. Please let me know if there's any more info I can provide to help.

Thanks in advance

The gym documentation https://github.com/openai/gym#installing-everything says that for using all the environments, you should have installed dependencies through pip install 'gym[all]'. Can you run this command preferably through the terminal and see if it works?

Thanks CS101. I ran pip install gym[all], both via the PyCharm terminal, and by setting up a virtual environment on Anaconda Promt. Using both methods I got the following error: Unable to execute 'make build -C atari_py/ale_interface -j 11'. HINT: are you sure 'make' is installed?. I noticed from the gym documentation you linked to that they only give installation instructions for OSX and Ubuntu, and there's no mention of Windows. Perhaps I should just install and start using Ubuntu?

@PaulK, I have been using gym on my windows 7 and windows 10 laptops since beginning of the year. I do not use pycharm. I simply opened terminal and used pip install gym for python 2.7/ pip3 install gym for python 3.6. You can install gym on windows I think. What I believe does not work is dependencies needed for using Atari or Mujoco. I am not aware of the dependencies since I ahve never used them. But pip install through terminal looks like a clean install to me. You can uninstall the current gym and see if reinstalling by my method works.

I had previously found a suggestion to run 'pip install --no-index -f github.com/Kojoley/atari-py/releases atari_py' (see here stackoverflow.com/questions/42605769/…). This didn't work originally. But after much fiddling, this works! Thanks for your help @CS101
