Building and Running the Competition Repository

In the competition repository, the actual runtime environment is provided entirely within Docker. The steps to use the repository are as follows:

1. Build the Docker image for the competition environment
2. Build Autoware within the Docker container
3. Run Autoware and the simulator simultaneously within the Docker container

Building the Docker Image for the Competition Environment

Open a terminal again using Alt+Ctrl+T. Follow the commands below by pasting them with Ctrl+Shift+P and pressing Enter.

First, navigate to the competition repository.

cd ~/aichallenge-2024

Build the Docker image.

./docker_build.sh dev

Check if the following image has been generated by running:

docker images

You should see an image like this:

aichallenge-2024-dev   latest   df2e83a20349   33 minutes ago   8.9GB

Building Autoware within the Docker Container

Start the Docker container by executing the following:

cd ~/aichallenge-2024
./docker_run.sh dev cpu

Although it may not look like anything has changed, the above command moves the environment inside the Docker container. To confirm that you are inside the Docker container, you can run the following command and check if nothing is displayed.

ls ~

Within the Docker container, build Autoware by executing:

cd /aichallenge
./build_autoware.bash

Running Autoware and the Simulator within the Docker Container

After building Autoware, run the following command:

./run_evaluation.bash

When the screen shown below appears, the startup is complete. To terminate, press CTRL + C in the terminal.

Next Step: Start Development

This concludes the environment setup! Next, let's proceed to actual development.
