Installation and Setup

First Steps

Download the Installer

Download installer executables by following the links below.
- Windows 10 Install Launcher
- Linux Install Launcher (for Ubuntu 16.04 or higher)

System Configurations

Dedicated Simulation Machine Configuration

This configuration involves separate dedicated machines for the autonomous driving stack and the simulator. Both machines are connected over a network connection, typically over ethernet, and a ROS Bridge is used to send and receive data.

Single Simulation System Configuration

This configuration has both the simulation software and the autonomous driving software stack operating on the same machine. An internal ROS Bridge is still necessary to establish communications between the two software modules.

License Activation

A valid license is required to access MORAI SIM. For licenses issued since 2020, all licenses are issued through an online account validated through MORAI servers.

Online Account

Use the account ID and password combination provided after purchasing to authenticate.
If an ID and password combination was not provided, please contact your account representative.

An internet connection is required for online account authentication.
