"Failed to connect to the SC2 websocket. Is it up?"

Question

I am trying to run the Deepmind Environment for Starcraft II, following this tutorial

After running:

$ python -m pysc2.bin.play --map Simple64

I get this error:

raise ConnectError("Failed to connect to the SC2 websocket. Is it up?")

within the pysc2.lib.remote_controller

Any idea how to fix this?

This might be obvious for some, but it took me 25 minutes, so I'll put it here.

The SC2 websocket is up once you completely installed and started the game.

Not only the battlenet interface.

Note: Make sure that the game is in the current version (update if possible)

Hi, I have a naive question: what do you mean by starting the game? Does it mean you open the game and then run the python? – mac wang Apr 04 '21 at 00:27
Exactly, you need to run the game, as if you would play it. – mrk Apr 04 '21 at 10:00
Thank you for the kindly reply! But it didn't work.... Do I need to play the specific game or just stay at the entry of the game? – mac wang Apr 04 '21 at 10:47

Oh, I made it after I finished the 25.6GB update of this game... – mac wang Apr 04 '21 at 13:34
