> Permission Denied when starting example code

I've been unable to run the example code and get past the "env.start()" line. I'm getting a Permission denied error when it tries to spawn a new process with the thor environment. I've already tried giving full permissions to everything within the "thor-201705011400-Linux64" folder to see if that would work, but it gives the same result.

Here's the output when I try to run the script step by step:

>>> import robosims
>>> import json
>>> env = robosims.controller.ChallengeController(unity_path='thor-201705011400-Linux64',x_display=':0')
>>> env.start()

Can you check the permissions of the 'thor-201705011400-Linux64' executable? Do you have execute permissions on this file?

I got the same problem, and it comes from the wrong link of unity executable file.
In my case, I have a test.py in parent folder which is the same with folder "thor-201705011400-Linux64", then I put unity_path='thor-201705011400-Linux64/thor-201705011400-Linux64'
