Issue summary

For some reason am trying to install stable-retro through CMD and pycharm, but for some reason it's not working. I've updated setuptools and pip, reinstall them, unistalled everyone thing (Python and Pycharm) restart my computer few times install Cmake, Microsoft C++ build tools, and even have the require version of python to be compatiable for stable-retro I need your help.

I suspect we should use os.path.join rather than string concatenation

@zbeucler2018 would you be able to investigate?

[Misteridk2022]

hmm if that's the issue What can I do to change it or another method to install it?

[pseudo-rnd-thoughts]

Without you / us fixing it or you changing a linux based system then I don't think there is anything you can do.

[rizvi-ha]

Also having the same issue, is there a quick fix for the slash going the wrong way?

@zbeucler2018 would you be able to investigate?

I'm happy to investigate this and I think using os.path.join is a much better solution. However, I am not sure if we support windows

[pseudo-rnd-thoughts]

However, I am not sure if we support windows

Yes, is the simplest solution and Gymnasium doesn't officially support windows.
Our general rule has been if we can make simple changes to support windows then we will otherwise no

[Misteridk2022]

So far, I've tried pip install stable-retro --pre, pip3 install stable-retro, and pip install stable-retro --use-pep517 with no luck. still showing the error.

[MatPoliquin]

hmm if that's the issue What can I do to change it or another method to install it?

You can use WSL2 (Windows sur Subsystem for Linux) on Windows with Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine and install stable-retro in the VM. It's works quite well and will be much less painful than running directly on Windows.

Here is a simple video for that:
