Warning

• To access Epic’s marketplace to download community environments or assets, Windows OS is required
• Building on Windows allows compatibility with Linux, but not vice versa
• You HAVE TO use Carla 0.8.2 on Unreal Engine 4.18 for successfully building the project and using the PythonAPI
• Building/packaging an Unreal project takes a long time
