Topic Description

Hi, I work through ssh on my university’s computing cluster to run Isaac Sim simulations. For now, the standalone distribution was enough for me, but now I want to switch to pip distribution, as it allows to work with Isaac Lab. Is there any convenient way to use bash scripts from standalone distribution (such as isaac-sim.streaming.sh or warmup.sh) with pip distribution? Or should I try to rewrite them and hope they’d work?

Detailed Description

So, to work on my projects I used the webrtc client on my machine. The simulation was streamed from the computing cluster with the usage of isaac-sim.streaming.sh script. I have set a new conda environment up, specially for Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab to work with. I need to install Isaac Sim using pip, but sadly, there are no scripts attached. I already tried to run bash commands from the scripts in the console and even got an image on stream for a brief moment. But, when I tried to interact with it, it crashed and so did other attempts.

I had no such problems when I used the standalone version with scripts attached. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other way to work with Isaac Sim other than aforementioned cluster and ssh. I tried to work with Isaac Sim in form of standalone python scripts, but it turned out to be pretty inconvenient in terms of visualisation and interaction.

Is isaacsim isaacsim.exp.full.streaming --no-window mentioned in the following links what you are looking for?

Yeah, I already tried to use it before I wrote my post. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for few times. In the end, the old trick of “turn off, turn on” helped, but I had to try several times for it to eventually work. I don’t know why there were problems at the beginning. Anyway, thanks for help. My issue has been solved.
