Installation

The installation is quite easy if you already have ROS. If you don't have ROS I recommend you follow this tutorial first: ROS/Tutorials/InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment

Dependencies

rosdashboard currently depends on rospy, std_msgs and python_qt_binding from ROS and on python-qwt5-qt4 from your system, because rosdashboard uses widgets from Qwt5. You should have either PySide or PyQt installed for the Qt part.

Here are the steps:

• Get the source from Github.com, either clone the repository with git clone git://github.com/kaserf/rosdashboard.git or download the zip from the repository homepage.

• Go to the location where you cloned or unzipped rosdashboard.

• run rosdep install rosdashboard to fetch all the dependencies.

• run rosmake

• run rosrun rosdashboard rosdashboard.py
