Quickstart not working

[arihant2math]

The documentation in the quickstart does not specify how to install the package carla, so the examples in pythonapi/examples exit with an error. However spectator mode still works.

Windows 10, Carla 0.9.10

Hi arihant2math,

Using Carla Package u just need to unzip the file you have downloaded.

Then you need to start CARLA (CarlaUE4.exe) first. And then you can run any of the examples inside the PythonAPI / examples folder.

I did that, the examples still do not work.

Hi @arihant2math, what error are you getting?

[arihant2math]

I'm getting this error when I run spawn_npc.py: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'carla'

Can you make sure that the PYTHONPATH is set correctly by running the following, or adding it to your .bashrc file:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:"$HOME/<path/to/carla>/PythonAPI/carla/dist/<name_of_egg_file>.egg"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:"$HOME/<path/to/carla>/carla"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:"$HOME/<path/to/carla>/carla/PythonAPI/"

Hi @arihant2math, sorry for the misunderstanding. Can you look in the directory carla\PythonAPI\carla\dist\ and check the .egg file there? It should look like this carla-<version>-py3.7-win-amd64.egg. The part py3.7 will indicate the version of Python that should be used, it's normally 3.7 in the package versions. Can you confirm that you are running the scripts with Python 3.7?

[arihant2math]

I was using python 3.9, using 3.7 fixed the problem.
