<h1>How to build CARLA on Linux</h1>
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
CARLA requires Ubuntu 16.04 or later.
|
|
|
|
Install the build tools and dependencies
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential clang-5.0 lld-5.0 g++-7 cmake ninja-build python python-pip python-dev python3-dev python3-pip libpng16-dev libtiff5-dev libjpeg-dev tzdata sed curl wget unzip autoconf libtool
|
|
pip2 install --user setuptools nose2
|
|
pip3 install --user setuptools nose2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To avoid compatibility issues between Unreal Engine and the CARLA dependencies,
|
|
the best configuration is to compile everything with the same compiler version
|
|
and C++ runtime library. We use clang 5.0 and LLVM's libc++. We recommend to
|
|
change your default clang version to compile Unreal Engine and the CARLA
|
|
dependencies
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /usr/lib/llvm-5.0/bin/clang++ 101
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /usr/lib/llvm-5.0/bin/clang 101
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build Unreal Engine
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Unreal Engine repositories are set to private. In order to gain access you
|
|
need to add your GitHub username when you sign up at
|
|
[www.unrealengine.com](https://www.unrealengine.com).
|
|
|
|
Download and compile Unreal Engine 4.19. Here we will assume you install it at
|
|
`~/UnrealEngine_4.19", but you can install it anywhere, just replace the path
|
|
where necessary.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone --depth=1 -b 4.19 https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git ~/UnrealEngine_4.19
|
|
cd ~/UnrealEngine_4.19
|
|
./Setup.sh && ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh && make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check Unreal's documentation
|
|
["Building On Linux"](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Building_On_Linux) if any of
|
|
the steps above fail.
|
|
|
|
Build CARLA
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Clone or download the project from our
|
|
[GitHub repository](https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the `master` branch contains the latest fixes and features, for the
|
|
latest stable code may be best to switch to the `stable` branch.
|
|
|
|
Now you need to download the assets package, to do so we provide a handy script
|
|
that downloads and extracts the latest version (note that this package is >3GB,
|
|
this step might take some time depending on your connection)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./Update.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For CARLA to find your Unreal Engine's installation folder you need to set the
|
|
following environment variable
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export UE4_ROOT=~/UnrealEngine_4.19
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also add this variable to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.profile`.
|
|
|
|
Now that the environment is set up, you can use make to run different commands
|
|
and build the different modules
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make launch # Compiles the simulator and launches Unreal Engine's Editor.
|
|
make PythonAPI # Compiles the PythonAPI module necessary for running the Python examples.
|
|
make package # Compiles everything and creates a packaged version able to run without UE4 editor.
|
|
make help # Print all available commands.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Updating CARLA
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Every new release of CARLA, we release too a new package with the latest changes
|
|
in the CARLA assets. To download the latest version and recompile CARLA, run
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make clean
|
|
git pull
|
|
./Update.sh
|
|
make launch
|
|
```
|
|

<h2>Assets repository (development only)</h2>
|
|
|
|
Our 3D assets, models, and maps have also a
|
|
[publicly available git repository][contentrepolink]. We regularly push latest
|
|
updates to this repository. However, using this version of the content is only
|
|
recommended to developers, as we often have work in progress maps and models.
|
|
|
|
Handling this repository requires [git-lfs][gitlfslink] installed in your
|
|
machine. Clone this repository to "Unreal/CarlaUE4/Content/Carla"
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git lfs clone https://bitbucket.org/carla-simulator/carla-content Unreal/CarlaUE4/Content/Carla
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to clone with "git lfs clone" as this is significantly faster
|
|
in older versions of git.
