Answers:
according to Anaconda, you should use the following command
conda install -c conda-forge gym-box2d
but you can still just install gym and from gym.envs import box2d
I think you are using windows for using openai gym which is not officially supported. gym installation for windows is not stable. Linux and mac are officially supported. I recommended this video Installing OpenAI Gym (gym[all]) on Linux, Windows and Mac for installing in Linux. you can use wsl2 in windows which i tried and worked.
Also this doc gym 0.7.4 helped me to set up the display in using wsl2(alias linux server according to the docs ).
Individual installation like box2d did not work for me. Try to install all gym envs as said in the video(takes a lot of space but no other option)
I think you may go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and find pybox2d
and download the version which match your python version and run pip install Box2D‑2.3.10‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl
(change your wheel name!)
For me, the solution was to download and install the latest stable version of Build Tools pour Visual Studio (2022 currently) and to select C++ package during the installation. Then the pip install gym[box2d]
worked.
