Run AI2-THOR on the Cloud using Google Colab
## 💡 Templates
#### 💪 Full Starter Template
To get started, we recommend saving a copy of the AI2-THOR Colab Full Starter Template to your drive. It goes over many helper functions that are often useful.

#### 👑 Minimal Starter Template
We also provide a Minimal Starter Template that does not showcase any helper functions. This is often useful as a starting point to minimally reproduce issues, highlight, or test functionality.

## 🐱💻 Setup Overview
#### 💻 Installation
Using Python's packaging manager, `ai2thor_colab` can be installed with
```python
pip install ai2thor_colab
```
#### 🔥 Start X Server
AI2-THOR requires an X Server to run on a Linux machine. It allows us to open a Unity window where we can render scenes and observe images. Colab runs Linux, but it does not start an X Server by default. Using `ai2thor_colab.start_xserver()`, we can install all required X Server dependencies and start it up:
```python
import ai2thor_colab
ai2thor_colab.start_xserver()
```
