How to build DeepMind Lab

DeepMind Lab uses Bazel as its build system. Its main BUILD file defines a number of build targets and their dependencies. The build rules should work out of the box on Debian (Jessie or newer) and Ubuntu (version 14.04 or newer), provided the required packages are installed. DeepMind Lab also builds on other Linux systems, but some changes to the build files might be required, see below.

DeepMind Lab is written in C99 and C++11, and you will need a sufficiently modern compiler. GCC 4.8 should suffice.

Instructions for installing Bazel can be found in the Bazel install guide.

Step-by-step instructions for Debian or Ubuntu

Tested on Debian 8.6 (Jessie) and Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) and newer.

  1. Install Bazel (see above).

  2. Install DeepMind Lab's dependencies:

    $ sudo apt-get install lua5.1 liblua5.1-0-dev libffi-dev gettext \
    freeglut3-dev libsdl2-dev libosmesa6-dev python-dev python-numpy \
    python-pil realpath

  3. Clone or download DeepMind Lab.

  4. Build DeepMind Lab and run a random agent:

    $ cd lab

# Build the Python interface to DeepMind Lab
lab$ bazel build //:deepmind_lab.so

# Build and run the tests for it
lab$ bazel test //python/tests:python_module_test

# Run a random agent
lab$ bazel run //:python_random_agent

The Bazel target :deepmind_lab.so builds the Python module that interfaces with DeepMind Lab.

The random agent target :python_random_agent has a number of optional command line arguments. Run bazel run :random_agent -- --help to see those.

Building on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server

Tested on release 7.2 (Maipo). This should also work on Centos 7, and with some modifications of the package installation commands on Centos 6.

  1. Install Bazel (see above).

  2. Install Bazel's and DeepMind Lab's dependencies

    sudo yum -y install unzip java-1.8.0-openjdk lua lua-devel libffi-devel zip \
  java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel gcc gcc-c++ freeglut-devel SDL2 SDL2-devel \
  mesa-libOSMesa-devel python-devel python-imaging numpy

  3. Clone or download DeepMind Lab.

  4. Edit lua.BUILD to reflect how Lua is installed on your system:

    cc_library(
    name = "lua",
    linkopts = ["-llua"],
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

    The output of pkg-config lua --libs --cflags might be helpful to find the right include folders and linker options.

  5. Build DeepMind Lab using Bazel as above.

Building on SUSE Linux

Tested on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.

  1. Install Bazel (see above).

  2. Install Bazel's and DeepMind Lab's dependencies

    sudo zypper --non-interactive install java-1_8_0-openjdk \
  java-1_8_0-openjdk-devel gcc gcc-c++ lua lua-devel python-devel \
  python-numpy-devel python-imaging libSDL-devel libOSMesa-devel freeglut-devel

  3. Clone or download DeepMind Lab.

  4. Edit lua.BUILD to reflect how Lua is installed on your system:

    cc_library(
    name = "lua",
    linkopts = ["-llua"],
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

    The output of pkg-config lua --libs --cflags might be helpful to find the right include folders and linker options.

  5. Edit python.BUILD to reflect how Python is installed on your system:

    cc_library(
    name = "python",
    hdrs = glob([
        "include/python2.7/*.h",
        "lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/**/*.h",
    ]),
    includes = [
        "include/python2.7",
        "lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include",
    ],
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

    The outputs of rpm -ql python and rpm -ql python-numpy-devel might be helpful to find the rihgt include folders.

  6. Build DeepMind Lab using Bazel as above.
