[Fixed] import mujoco_py is giving me compiling errors – Mujoco

The Problem:

I’m experiencing problems importing the mujoco_py library, which is throwing compilation errors when I attempt to run the command ‘python3 setting_state.py’. The issue seems to be related to the libglew1.5 dependency, which is not found on my system. I’ve tried installing various versions of libglew (such as libglew-dev and libglew2.2), but the compilation errors persist.

The Solutions:
