- When using an Azure Trial account, the default vCPU quota may not be enough to allocate the required VM to run AirSim. If that's the case, you will see an error when trying to create the VM and will have to make a support request to increase the default quota.

- To avoid charges for the Virtual Machine usage while not in use, remember to deallocate its resources from the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) or use the following command from the Azure CLI:
```bash
az vm deallocate --resource-group MyResourceGroup --name MyVMName
```
```bash
az vm deallocate --resource-group MyResourceGroup --name MyVMName

By default AirSim recommends using clang 8 to build the binaries as those will be compatible with UE 4.24. The setup script will install the right version of cmake, llvm, and eigen.

Let's take the Blocks binary as an example.
You can download it by running
```

```

```bash
$ ./run_airsim_image_binary.sh DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME UNREAL_BINARY_SHELL_SCRIPT UNREAL_BINARY_ARGUMENTS -- headless

For blocks, you can do a `$ ./run_airsim_image_binary.sh airsim_binary:10.0-devel-ubuntu18.04 Blocks/Blocks.sh -windowed -ResX=1080 -ResY=720`

* `DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME`: Same as `target_image` parameter in previous step. By default, enter `airsim_binary:10.0-devel-ubuntu18.04`
* `UNREAL_BINARY_SHELL_SCRIPT`: for Blocks enviroment, it will be `Blocks/Blocks.sh`
* [`UNREAL_BINARY_ARGUMENTS`](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Programming/Basics/CommandLineArguments):
For airsim, most relevant would be `-windowed`, `-ResX`, `-ResY`. Click on link to see all options.

* Running in Headless mode:
Suffix `-- headless` at the end:
```
$ ./run_airsim_image_binary.sh Blocks/Blocks.sh -- headless

#### [Misc] Packaging Unreal Environments in `airsim_source` containers
* Let's take the Blocks environment as an example.
In the following script, specify the full path to your unreal uproject file by `project` and the directory where you want the binaries to be placed by `archivedirectory`
```
$ /home/ue4/UnrealEngine/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.sh BuildCookRun -platform=Linux -clientconfig=Shipping -serverconfig=Shipping -noP4 -cook -allmaps -build -stage -prereqs -pak -archive \
-archivedirectory=/home/ue4/Binaries/Blocks/ \
-project=/home/ue4/AirSim/Unreal/Environments/Blocks/Blocks.uproject

```bash
$ /home/ue4/UnrealEngine/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.sh BuildCookRun -platform=Linux -clientconfig=Shipping -serverconfig=Shipping -noP4 -cook -allmaps -build -stage -prereqs -pak -archive \
-archivedirectory=/home/ue4/Binaries/Blocks/ \
-project=/home/ue4/AirSim/Unreal/Environments/Blocks/Blocks.uproject

This would create a Blocks binary in `/home/ue4/Binaries/Blocks/`.
You can test it by running `/home/ue4/Binaries/Blocks/LinuxNoEditor/Blocks.sh -windowed`
