Revision as of 13:14, 1 October 2017
Welcome! Let's jump right in.
Robojackets IGVC currently supports the Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS-kinetic environment. If you don't know what those are, don't worry! The project may build/run in other environments, but we can't guarantee it.
Ok, lets get down to business.
Contents
- 1 Step 1 - Get Terminator
- 2 Step 2 - Set up your sources.list
- 3 Step 3 - Set up your keys
- 4 Step 4 - Update your Debian packages
- 5 Step 5 - Get Ros Kinetic
- 6 Step 6 - Initialize rosdep
- 7 Step 7 - Environment Variable Setup
- 8 Step 8 - Initialize catkin workspace
- 9 Step 9 - Clone IGVC Repository
- 10 Step 10 - Install ROS Dependencies
- 11 Step 11 - Build the Code
- 12 Step 12 - Run the Code
Step 1 - Get Terminator
Forget the default Ubuntu terminal, we need both horizontal and vertical splits for productive activity. Start up the default terminal and type:
sudo apt install terminator
You should now be using this from now on, it will help later,
Step 2 - Set up your sources.list
Now for these next steps you don't need to understand what they do, only make sure they complete properly. So if you see any errors come up, tell one of us immediately. Copy this into your terminal:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
Step 3 - Set up your keys
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116
Step 4 - Update your Debian packages
sudo apt update
Step 5 - Get Ros Kinetic
sudo apt install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
Step 6 - Initialize rosdep
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
Step 7 - Environment Variable Setup
echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Step 8 - Initialize catkin workspace
cd <path to where you want to keep the project>
mkdir <name of root folder of project i.e. "catkin_ws" or "igvc"
cd <name of folder>
mkdir src
cd src
catkin_init_workspace
cd ..
catkin_make
- Command should complete and not really do anything
- If init_catkin_workspace failed then ROS did not install correctly and/or try "sudo apt-get update" which may fix the issue where catkin_init_workspace command can not be found
Step 9 - Clone IGVC Repository
- Fork IGVC Github Repository
cd src
git clone <your fork>
Step 10 - Install ROS Dependencies
cd ..
echo "source devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
rosdep install igvc igvc_control igvc_description
- rosdep will download and install all of the necessary ros package dependencies, type "y" whenever it asks if it is ok to continue installation
Step 11 - Build the Code
catkin_make
- If this fails the first time try running catkin_make again
- If it continues to fail because it could not find some of the igvc_msgs header files, run "catkin_make igvc_msgs_gencpp" and then "catkin_make"
Step 12 - Run the Code
In a separate terminal roscore
In a terminal that isn't running roscore roslaunch igvc igvc.launch
- The code should now be running and complaining about not being able to connect to various devices, this is all good and you are ready to start writing igvc code
