Training on Amazon Web Service

⚠️ Note: We no longer use this guide ourselves and so it may not work correctly. We've decided to keep it up just in case it is helpful to you.

This page contains instructions for setting up an EC2 instance on Amazon Web Service for training ML-Agents environments.

Pre-configured AMI

We've prepared a pre-configured AMI for you with the ID: ami-016ff5559334f8619 in the us-east-1 region. It was created as a modification of Deep Learning AMI (Ubuntu). The AMI has been tested with p2.xlarge instance. Furthermore, if you want to train without headless mode, you need to enable X Server.

After launching your EC2 instance using the ami and ssh into it, run the following commands to enable it:

# Start the X Server, press Enter to come to the command line
$ sudo /usr/bin/X :0 &

# Check if Xorg process is running
# You will have a list of processes running on the GPU, Xorg should be in the
# list, as shown below
$ nvidia-smi

Configuring your own instance

You could also choose to configure your own instance. To begin with, you will need an EC2 instance which contains the latest Nvidia drivers, CUDA9, and cuDNN. In this tutorial we used the Deep Learning AMI (Ubuntu) listed under AWS Marketplace with a p2.xlarge instance.

Installing the ML-Agents Toolkit on the instance

After launching your EC2 instance using the ami and ssh into it:

Activate the python3 environment
```
source activate python3
```

Clone the ML-Agents repo and install the required Python packages

git clone --branch release_18 https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ml-agents.git
cd ml-agents/ml-agents/
pip3 install -e .

Setting up X Server (optional)

X Server setup is only necessary if you want to do training that requires visual observation input. Instructions here are adapted from this Medium post on running general Unity applications in the cloud.

Current limitations of the Unity Engine require that a screen be available to render to when using visual observations. In order to make this possible when training on a remote server, a virtual screen is required. We can do this by installing Xorg and creating a virtual screen. Once installed and created, we can display the Unity environment in the virtual environment, and train as we would on a local machine. Ensure that headless mode is disabled when building linux executables which use visual observations.

Install and setup Xorg:

```sh
# Install Xorg
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y xserver-xorg mesa-utils
$ sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None --virtual=1280x1024

# Get the BusID information
$ nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info

# Add the BusID information to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
$ sudo sed -i 's/    BoardName      "Tesla K80"/    BoardName      "Tesla K80"\n    BusID          "0:30:0"/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf

# Remove the Section "Files" from the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
# And remove two lines that contain Section "Files" and EndSection
$ sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
```

Update and setup Nvidia driver:

```sh
# Download and install the latest Nvidia driver for ubuntu
# Please refer to http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-#x86_64/latest.txt
$ wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/390.87/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.87.run
$ sudo /bin/bash ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.87.run --accept-license --no-questions --ui=none

# Disable Nouveau as it will clash with the Nvidia driver
$ sudo echo 'blacklist nouveau'  | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
$ sudo echo 'options nouveau modeset=0'  | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
$ sudo echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
```

Restart the EC2 instance:

```sh
sudo reboot now
```

Make sure there are no Xorg processes running:

# Kill any possible running Xorg processes
# Note that you might have to run this command multiple times depending on
# how Xorg is configured.
$ sudo killall Xorg

# Check if there is any Xorg process left
# You will have a list of processes running on the GPU, Xorg should not be in
# the list, as shown below.
$ nvidia-smi

Start X Server and make the ubuntu use X Server for display:

```console
# Start the X Server, press Enter to come back to the command line
$ sudo /usr/bin/X :0 &

# Check if Xorg process is running
# You will have a list of processes running on the GPU, Xorg should be in the list.
$ nvidia-smi

# Make the ubuntu use X Server for display
$ export DISPLAY=:0
```

Ensure the Xorg is correctly configured:

```sh
# For more information on glxgears, see ftp://www.x.org/pub/X11R6.8.1/doc/glxgears.1.html.
$ glxgears
# If Xorg is configured correctly, you should see the following message

# Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
# approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
# 137296 frames in 5.0 seconds = 27459.053 FPS
# 141674 frames in 5.0 seconds = 28334.779 FPS
# 141490 frames in 5.0 seconds = 28297.875 FPS

```

Training on EC2 instance

In the Unity Editor, load a project containing an ML-Agents environment (you can use one of the example environments if you have not created your own).
Open the Build Settings window (menu: File > Build Settings).
Select Linux as the Target Platform, and x86_64 as the target architecture (the default x86 currently does not work).
Check Headless Mode if you have not setup the X Server. (If you do not use Headless Mode, you have to setup the X Server to enable training.)
Click Build to build the Unity environment executable.
Upload the executable to your EC2 instance within ml-agents folder.
Change the permissions of the executable.
```
chmod +x <your_env>.x86_64
```

(Without Headless Mode) Start X Server and use it for display:

# Start the X Server, press Enter to come back to the command line
$ sudo /usr/bin/X :0 &

# Check if Xorg process is running
# You will have a list of processes running on the GPU, Xorg should be in the list.
$ nvidia-smi

# Make the ubuntu use X Server for display
$ export DISPLAY=:0

Test the instance setup from Python using:
```
from mlagents_envs.environment import UnityEnvironment

env = UnityEnvironment(<your_env>)
```
Where <your_env> corresponds to the path to your environment executable.

You should receive a message confirming that the environment was loaded successfully.

FAQ

The <Executable_Name>_Data folder hasn't been copied cover

If you've built your Linux executable, but forget to copy over the corresponding <Executable_Name>_Data folder, you will see error message like the following:

Set current directory to /home/ubuntu/ml-agents/ml-agents
Found path: /home/ubuntu/ml-agents/ml-agents/3dball_linux.x86_64
no boot config - using default values

(Filename:  Line: 403)

There is no data folder

Unity Environment not responding

If you didn't setup X Server or hasn't launched it properly, or your environment somehow crashes, or you haven't chmod +x your Unity Environment, all of these will cause connection between Unity and Python to fail. Then you will see something like this:

Logging to /home/ubuntu/.config/unity3d/<Some_Path>/Player.log
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/ubuntu/ml-agents/ml-agents/mlagents_envs/environment.py", line 63, in __init__
    aca_params = self.send_academy_parameters(rl_init_parameters_in)
  File "/home/ubuntu/ml-agents/ml-agents/mlagents_envs/environment.py", line 489, in send_academy_parameters
    return self.communicator.initialize(inputs).rl_initialization_output
  File "/home/ubuntu/ml-agents/ml-agents/mlagents_envs/rpc_communicator.py", line 60, in initialize
mlagents_envs.exception.UnityTimeOutException: The Unity environment took too long to respond. Make sure that :
         The environment does not need user interaction to launch
         The environment and the Python interface have compatible versions.

It would be also really helpful to check your /home/ubuntu/.config/unity3d/<Some_Path>/Player.log to see what happens with your Unity environment.

Could not launch X Server

When you execute:

sudo /usr/bin/X :0 &

You might see something like:
