Setting Up Development Environment#

The section describes how to set up environment for both frontend and backend development.

Carla Installation#

System Requirements#

Currently only support Windows or Linux.

Packaged Version#

Download the pre-built packaged version from this link, download Import additional assets Each release has its own additional package of extra assets and maps. This additional package includes the maps Town06, Town07, and Town10. These are stored separately to reduce the size of the build, so they can only be imported after the main package has been installed.

Download the appropriate package for your desired version of CARLA.
Extract the package: * On Linux: move the package to the Import folder and run the following script to extract the contents:
```
cd path/to/carla/root
./ImportAssets.sh
