## Requirements

**Python:** We use Learn-to-Race with Python 3.8+.

**Graphics Hardware:** An Nvidia graphics card & associated drives is required. An Nvidia 970 GTX graphics card is minimally sufficient to simply run the simulator, but a better card is recommended.

**Docker:** Commonly, the racing simulator runs in a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started) container.

**Container GPU Access:** If running the simulator in a container, the container needs access to the GPU, so [nvidia-container-runtime](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-runtime) is also required.

---

## Installation

Due to the container GPU access requirement, this installation assumes a Linux operating system. If you do not have a Linux OS, we recommend running Learn-to-Race on a public cloud instance that has a sufficient GPU.

1. Request access to the Racing simulator: https://www.aicrowd.com/challenges/learn-to-race-autonomous-racing-virtual-challenge

We recommmend running the simulator as a Python subprocess which simply requires that you specify the path of the simulator in the ```env_kwargs.controller_kwargs.sim_path``` of your configuration file. Alternatively, you can run the simulator as a Docker container by setting ```env_kwargs.controller_kwargs.start_container``` to True. If you prefer the latter, you can load the docker image as follows:

```bash
$ docker load < arrival-sim-image.tar.gz
```

2. Download the source code from this repository and install the package requirements. We recommend using a virtual environment:

```bash
$ conda create -n l2r python=3.6
$ conda activate                  # activate the environment
(l2r) $ pip3 install git+https://github.com/learn-to-race/l2r.git@aicrowd-environment
```
