Install Isaac Lab

cd third_party
git clone [email protected]:isaac-sim/IsaacLab.git
cd IsaacLab
git checkout 4d9914702  # Ensure reproducibility
sudo apt install cmake build-essential
./isaaclab.sh --install
ln -s ${CONDA_ROOT}/envs/isaaclab/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isaacsim _isaac_sim  # Optional: for linting

• If you encounter error about rsl-rl-lib, try the following commands:

  Replace line 46 of IsaacLab/source/extensions/omni.isaac.lab_tasks/setup.py with

  "rsl-rl": ["rsl-rl-lib@git+https://github.com/leggedrobotics/rsl_rl.git"],
  

  (Just add the -lib in the repository name)

  Then retry the installation.

• If you encounter any version conflicts when running ./isaaclab.sh --install, try the following commands to fix it:

  cd ../..  # go back to the root directory
  pip install -r requirements.txt --no-deps
  

If pip check doesn’t report any issues, you should be good to go.

Run the Isaac Sim GUI for testing (optional)

cd third_party/IsaacLab
./isaaclab.sh -s
