Trying to run the simplest bot for testing after installation, results in this:

run_game(maps.get("Abyssal Reef LE"), [
    Bot(Race.Zerg, WorkerRushBot()),
    Computer(Race.Protoss, Difficulty.Medium)

System: Ubuntu 18.04

Downloaded SC2 3.17 linux package from its source: https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto#downloads

Extracted it into /home as is suggested.

Downloaded all 2017-2018 Map Packs and extracted them in Maps inside StarCraft2 folder, in each respective folder.

Any idea whats the issue?

[tweakimp]

Check if the map name is really Abyssal Reef LE, mine isAbyssalReefLE. The folder must be Maps in the StarCraft folder. The complete path to the map should be C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Maps\AbyssalReefLE.SC2Map

[LecJackS]

@tweakimp Both ways of calling the map, with and without spaces, are valid.

AbyssalReefLE produces the same result. Any other name in the Maps folder, too.

An invalid name returns another kind of error:

I'm running into this issue too on Ubuntu 16.04. I wonder if anyone has actually succesfully been able to run this on linux?

[LecJackS]

I realized that I downloaded the linux package version 3.17, while there is a 4.1.2 version.

https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto#downloads

I downloaded that, copied the maps inside Maps, and a new similar exception was raised, but now with a new detail:

'/home/jack/StarCraftII/maps/Ladder2017Season1/AbyssalReefLE.SC2Map' file doesn't exist., where maps folder is with lowercase M.

So I duplicate the Maps folder to a new maps folder in the same directory, and the bot started to work :)

@varunbalupuri check if that works for you.

I had the same issue with my docker image. I had to use lower case maps for some reason to fix my problem. https://hub.docker.com/r/burnysc2/python-sc2-docker/~/dockerfile/
