Setting up your workspace

If you have never installed another ROS package before, you need to create a catkin workspace and setup your shell:

mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws/
catkin_make
echo "source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Install ROS packages

Clone or download repositories in your catkin workspace (usually ~/catkin_ws/src if you followed the ROS tutorials), then compile them:

cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone git@github.com:EPFLRocketTeam/real_time_simulator.git
git clone git@github.com:EPFLRocketTeam/rocket_utils.git
git clone -b noetic-devel https://github.com/OTL/rqt_ez_publisher.git
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make
source ~/.bashrc # Modify depending on your shell
rqt --force-discover # Then close the windows

Configure your local GUI file with your local path

cd ~/catkin_ws/src/real_time_simulator
sed -i 's/username/'"$USER"'/g' GUI/rocket_GUI.perspective

Then stop tracking this file to keep your personal change to the GUI local:

git update-index --assume-unchanged GUI/rocket_GUI.perspective
