Installing the Virtual Environment
Installing Dependencies
First, install the necessary libraries.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-pip ca-certificates curl gnupg
Installing Docker
Install Docker using the commands from the official documentation.
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
echo \
"deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
"$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
Verify that Docker is installed correctly with the following command:
sudo docker run hello-world
If you see Hello from Docker!, Docker is installed correctly.
Installing Rocker
Rocker is a tool that simplifies running GUI applications inside Docker containers.
Although the official README recommends installing via apt, we will use pip for simplicity.
pip install rocker
By default, the path to the rocker executable is not included in the PATH, so add it to .bashrc with the following commands:
echo export PATH='$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Obtaining the Docker Image for the Autoware Environment
Download the Docker image for the Autoware environment used in the AI Challenge.
The Docker image is approximately 10GB in size, so it is recommended to use a wired LAN for downloading.
docker pull ghcr.io/automotiveaichallenge/autoware-universe:humble-latest
Check if the download was successful with the following command:
docker images
If the Docker image was downloaded correctly, you will see output similar to the following:
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
ghcr.io/automotiveaichallenge/autoware-universe humble-latest 30c59f3fb415 13 days ago 8.84GB
Next Step
Two types of AWSIM are provided.
For first-time users, proceed to the documentation for headless AWSIM. If you have a PC with a GPU and want a richer development environment, proceed to the documentation for AWSIM with visualization.
