## Installation

Habitat-Sim can be installed in 4 ways:
1. Via Conda - Recommended method for most users. Stable release and nightly builds.
1. Via PIP - `pip install . --no-build-isolation` to compile from source. Read [build instructions and common build issues](BUILD_FROM_SOURCE.md).
1. 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).
1. Via Source - For active development. Read [build instructions and common build issues](BUILD_FROM_SOURCE.md).
