Run without building carla from sources

[alexkutsan]

Is it possible to run scenario runner without building Carla from sources, but using the https://pypi.org/project/carla/ package?

When I try to do so I get error:

You need to download the package containing the CARLA simulator from here. Take a look also here to see the complete installation process in the context of the Leaderboard, although if you do not need the Leaderboard you can skip the corresponding steps.
