carla-simulator-python

My modifications to the examples from CARLA 0.9.13 PythonAPI.

Launch the simulator:

You can change --gpus 0 to --gpus all or ---gpus <some_number> if you have more than one GPU.

docker run --rm -it --name carla-container -u carla -p 2000-2002:2000-2002 --gpus 0 ricardodeazambuja/carlasim:0.9.13_headless ./launch_headless.sh

Press ENTER to kill the simulator (it takes some seconds until it dies...).

Using the PythonAPI

docker cp carla-container:/home/carla/PythonAPI .

Create a new conda environment (Python 3.7):

conda create --name carla-simulator python=3.7

conda activate carla-simulator

pip install --upgrade pip

cd PythonAPI/examples/

pip install -r requirements.txt 

Install the carla python package (so we don't need to add the egg to the sys.path)

cd ../carla/dist/  #it's inside PythonAPI/carla/dist

pip install carla-0.9.13-cp37-cp37m-manylinux_2_27_x86_64.whl

If pip complains and you are sure the Python version is correct, one possible cause is that you forgot to upgrade pip

The simulation is empty, so let's put something there!

python generate_traffic.py 

It should print spawned 30 vehicles and 10 walkers, press Ctrl+C to exit.

It's headless, so we need a way to see what's happening there

Open a new terminal (don't forget to run conda activate carla-simulator) the and type:

python synchronous_mode.py

It should open a pygame display with a random vehicle moving through the town (with the focus on the pygame display, press ESC to exit).
