   `git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/AirSim.git`
   3. Run `build`. If everything goes ok, it will copy all the binaries that you need to Unreal/Plugins folder in your repo.  This Plugins folder can then be simply copied to your Unreal environment.

 ## Create Unreal Environment Project
 To run the simulator, you need an environment and its very easy to create one! [Unreal Marketplace](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace) has dozens of prebuilt extra-ordinarily detailed [environments](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/content-cat/assets/environments) ranging from Moon to Mars and everything in between. The one we have used for testing is called [Modular Neighborhood Pack](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/modular-neighborhood-pack) but you can use any environment.
   1. Either purchase an environment from Unreal Marketplace or choose one of the free ones such as [Infinity Blade series](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/infinity-blade-plain-lands). Alternatively, if you look under the Learn tab in Epic Game Launcher, you will find many free samples that you can use. One of our favorites is "A Boy and His Kite" which is a 100 square miles of highly detailed environment (caution: you will need *very* beefy PC to run it!).
