This additional package includes the maps Town06, Town07, and Town10. These are stored separately to reduce the size of the build, so they can only be imported after the main package has been installed.

1. Download the appropriate package for your desired version of CARLA.

2. Extract the package:

   • On Linux: move the package to the Import folder and run the following script to extract the contents:

   cd path/to/carla/root

• See building carla from source for general instruction.
• Docker scripts for installing carla on ANY Linux distribution.
