How to run DeepRacer locally on Mac

rundeepraceronmac.md

I took all my instructions from this page.  https://github.com/crr0004/deepracer

Here are the revised instructions for OSX (bold is console command)

1. Change to a folder in terminal that is not case-sensitive. ~/ should be fine
2. git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/crr0004/deepracer.git
3. brew install minio/stable/minio -- you may need to install brew first -- /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
4. install vncviewer from here https://www.realvnc.com/download/file/viewer.files/VNC-Viewer-6.19.325-MacOSX-x86_64.dmg
5. cd rl_coach
6. vim env.sh
7. replace the $(hostname -i) with your IP Address (i to edit, esc - :wq to save and quit) -- ifconfig|grep -e 'inet [197][970]'
8. add a "g" before readlink, so that it reads greadlink
9. save and exit
10. brew install coreutils
11. the "source" command in linux means run a shell script. in Mac you can use "." instead of "source"
12. . ./env.sh
13. minio server data
14. Browse to http://127.0.0.1:9000 and use the credentials the minio command gave you to login
15. Create a bucket called "bucket"
16. Now edit the env.sh file again, this time replacing "minio" with the minio access key and "miniokey" with the access secret.
17. Now you're all done setting up your fake s3 bucket/server
18. Let's start Sagemaker setup, do Command T to open new terminal
19. Go back to the "deepracer" or repo root folder cd ..
20. python3 -m venv sagemaker_venv
21. This assumes you already have python3 installed. You probably need both pythons installed, 2 and 3.
22. . sagemaker_venv/bin/activate
23. pip install PyYAML==3.11
24. pip install urllib3==1.21.1
25. pip install -U sagemaker-python-sdk/ awscli ipython pandas
26. docker pull crr0004/sagemaker-rl-tensorflow:console
27. docker tag crr0004/sagemaker-rl-tensorflow:console 520713654638.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/sagemaker-rl-tensorflow:coach0.11-cpu-py3
28. I'm also assuming you already have docker installed and logged in with a docker account
29. mkdir -p ~/.sagemaker && cp config.yaml ~/.sagemaker
30. cd rl_coach
31. export LOCAL_ENV_VAR_JSON_PATH=$(greadlink -f ./env_vars.json)
32. mkdir ~/robo
33. mkdir ~/robo/container
34. ipython rl_deepracer_coach_robomaker.py
35. NOW SAGEMAKER LOCAL should be working
36. Now for Robomaker
37. Command T to open new terminal window
38. cd ..
39. . sagemaker_venv/bin/activate
40. cd rl_coach
41. . ./env.sh
42. docker pull crr0004/deepracer_robomaker:console
43. cd ..
44. edit the robomaker.env file to also reference your local ip address and your aws key and secret
45. docker run --rm --name dr --env-file ./robomaker.env --network sagemaker-local -p 8080:5900 -it crr0004/deepracer_robomaker:console
46. Command Space, open vnc viewer, connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 to view Gazebo

1. Anyone be able to resolve error occur by line 34 as @SmiffyKMc mentioned above?

2. In addition to that, i have below error in line 45:

Note: 192.168.1.76 is my local IP, i made the change to S3_ENDPOINT_URL as mentioned in line 44

3. Despite error above, when i connect 127.0.0.1:9000 in VNC Viewer, I got this program running; however, I don't know if this is the program we want:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was able to run using above instructions earlier but i have started getting errors. below is the error that is new. Any idea what could be wrong? i am suspecting that following command pulled the latest image which caused the issue:
docker pull crr0004/deepracer_robomaker:console

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This gist help clarify and resolved my issue:

Same as this steps except for mac we need to user CPU:

• In ~/deepracer/rl_coach, open rl_deepracer_coach_robomaker.py in an editor.
  Make sure that your endpoint_url (line 27) is the url to your minio server (ie: 192.168.1.xxx:9000)
  For CPU training, make sure instance_type (line 92) is "local" and image_name (line 108) is "crr0004/sagemaker-rl-tensorflow:console"
  Save the file
• ipython rl_deepracer_coach_robomaker.py

When spawning the robomaker container, I'm getting this:

I can see the ros GUI in VNC with a car (that drives forward), but no track.

For step #7, it might be better to update the env.sh script so it copes if your IP address changes.

Before:

export S3_ENDPOINT_URL=http://$(hostname -i):9000

After:

IPADDR=$(ifconfig|grep -e 'inet [197][970]' | awk '{print $2}')
export S3_ENDPOINT_URL=http://$IPADDR:9000

I forked your Gist and made the change above and a couple of others too: https://gist.github.com/daj/ae0ab3853e2dffe2f9edced2327f6ee1

@scumola I'm having the same error. I see that the link does not exists. Have you manage to solve it?

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/app/robomaker-deepracer/simulation_ws/install/deepracer_simulation/share/deepracer_simulation/routes/Mexico_track.npy'

@scumola @ebisbe I have the same issue. I've a driving car but no track. Any solution yet?

@lvthillo I gave up...

did your issue solved?

Hi!
I'm getting this error:

Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "http://127.0.0.1:9000/bucket/rl-deepracer-sagemaker/source/sourcedir.tar.gz"

I have checked the username and password etc of the minio thingo, and I can even see the sourcedir.tar.gz in the right bucket and the right directories.

What's up?

I am stuck step 5.
I clone the repository, install minio and vnc. Viewer.
at step#5 it mentioned to cd to rl_coach but that directory doesn’t exist in my cloned repository.
