Via Conda - Recommended method for most users. Stable release and nightly builds.\n1. Via PIP - `pip install . --no-build-isolation` to compile from source. Read [build instructions and common build issues](BUILD_FROM_SOURCE.md).\n1. Via Docker - Updated approximately once per year for the [Habitat Challenge](https://aihabitat.org/challenge/). Read [habitat-docker-setup](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-lab#docker-setup).\n1. Via Source - For active development. Read [build instructions and common build issues](BUILD_FROM_SOURCE.md).\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nHabitat-Sim is MIT licensed.
