openpilot is developed and tested on Ubuntu 20.04, which is the primary development target aside from the supported embdedded hardware. We also have a CI test to verify that openpilot builds on macOS, but the tools are untested. For the best experience, stick to Ubuntu 20.04, otherwise openpilot and the tools should work with minimal to no modifications on macOS and other Linux systems.
First, clone openpilot:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/commaai/openpilot.git
cd openpilot
git submodule update --initThen, run the setup script:
# for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
tools/ubuntu_setup.sh
# for macOS
tools/mac_setup.shActivate a shell with the install Python dependencies:
cd openpilot && pipenv shellBuild openpilot with this command:
scons -u -j$(nproc)Neither openpilot nor any of the tools are developed or tested on Windows, but the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) should get Windows users a similiar experience to Ubuntu. WSL 2 specifically has been reported by several users to be a seamless experience.
Follow these instructions to setup the WSL and install the Ubuntu-20.04 distribution. Once your Ubuntu WSL environment is setup, follow the Linux setup instructions to finish setting up your environment.
GUI applications do not work with WSL out of the box. You will have to either upgrade your system to Windows 11 or set up an Xorg server.
