⁠Docker Images

This repository provides development Docker images that include:

• All runtime dependencies
• Build tools for extending the simulator
• Python bindings and example interfaces

Due to the Epic Games Unreal Engine EULA⁠, we cannot distribute runtime containers with Unreal Engine content. However, we provide the necessary Dockerfiles to build these runtime images yourself, for internal use only, by individuals or organizations that have accepted the EULA.
