  3. Blacklist Nouveau. 
    sudo bash -c "echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf"
sudo bash -c "echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf"
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot
  4. Install graphics driver with --no-opengl-files flag. 
    sudo chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-415.25.run
sudo service lightdm stop
sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-415.25.run --no-opengl-files

Install TORCS and PyTORCS

Note that in order to install torcs on your computer system, you may need to install CUDA driver without opengl libs. The gym-TORCS environment has only been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 environment, and currently it does not support windows or macOSX environment.

git clone https://github.com/ucbdrive/pyTORCS
cd pyTORCS
bash install.sh

Usage of PyTORCS

import numpy as np
import gym
import py_TORCS

env = gym.make('TORCS-v0')
obs, info = env.reset()
obs, reward, terminal, info = env.step(np.array([1.0, 0.0]))

Have fun!
