| Creating the Isaac Sim Symbolic Link | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| Set up a symbolic link between the installed Isaac Sim root folder | |
| and ``_isaac_sim`` in the UW Lab directory. This makes it convenient | |
| to index the python modules and look for extensions shipped with Isaac Sim. | |
| .. tab-set:: | |
| :sync-group: os | |
| .. tab-item:: :icon:`fa-brands fa-linux` Linux | |
| :sync: linux | |
| .. code:: bash | |
| # enter the cloned repository | |
| cd UWLab | |
| # create a symbolic link | |
| ln -s ${ISAACSIM_PATH} _isaac_sim | |
| # For example: | |
| # Option 1: If pre-built binaries were installed: | |
| # ln -s ${HOME}/isaacsim _isaac_sim | |
| # | |
| # Option 2: If Isaac Sim was built from source: | |
| # ln -s ${HOME}/IsaacSim/_build/linux-x86_64/release _isaac_sim | |

| .. code:: batch | |
| :: enter the cloned repository | |
| cd UWLab | |
| :: create a symbolic link - requires launching Command Prompt with Administrator access | |
| mklink /D _isaac_sim %ISAACSIM_PATH% | |
| :: For example: | |
| :: Option 1: If pre-built binaries were installed: | |
| :: mklink /D _isaac_sim C:\isaacsim | |
| :: | |
| :: Option 2: If Isaac Sim was built from source: | |
| :: mklink /D _isaac_sim C:\IsaacSim\_build\windows-x86_64\release | |
