Sorry, my mistake, that command should have been docker run -d gcr.io/deepmind-environments/alchemy:v1.0.0

unfortunately on windows, I run into the same error trace trying to run human_agent.py:

the command that is mentioned above does not seem to help. Running

level_name = 'alchemy/perceptual_mapping_randomized_with_rotation_and_random_bottleneck'
seed = 1023
settings = dm_alchemy.EnvironmentSettings(
    seed=seed, level_name=level_name, width=width, height=height)
env = dm_alchemy.load_from_docker(settings)

in the AlchemyGettingStarted.ipynb gives the same error. The setup is as written in the guide and uses Docker Desktop (except that I don’t use a Python virtual environment). docker run -d gcr.io/deepmind-environments/alchemy:v1.0.0 gives no error.

Shall I open a new issue? While you officially don’t support windows maybe you can still help me?
