How to Run DeepMind Lab as a Human

DeepMind Lab can be run from the command line via the stand-alone :game target.

Running with Bazel

Build and run DeepMind Lab using Bazel. Specify the level name (without .lua) with the -l or --level_script flag. For example, to run game_scripts/levels/lt_chasm.lua,

lab$ bazel run :game -- -l lt_chasm

Once the binary is built, you can also run it directly without Bazel:

lab$ bazel-bin/game -l lt_chasm

(Running through bazel ensures that the binary is rebuilt if necessary.)

Specify setting overrides with the -s or --level_setting flag:

lab$ bazel run :game -- -l lt_chasm \
   -s categoryCount=8 -s mazeHeight=23 -s mazeWidth=23 -s objectCount=15
