Prerequesites

The Interactive Marker Tutorials depends on several ROS packages. Please install the visualization-tutorials developer stacks: 

  • sudo apt-get install ros-electric-visualization-tutorials
sudo apt-get install ros-electric-vision-opencv

or refer to the instruction on electric/Installation.

Installation from source code

To use the Interactive Marker Tutorial in wviz, you will need the trunk of the remote_lab Stack:[[remote_lab]] and some additional packages such as rosbridge.

The following rosinstall file will get everything for you: 

- svn: 
    local-name: remote_lab
    uri: 'https://bosch-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bosch-ros-pkg/trunk/stacks/remote_lab'

- svn: 
    local-name: rosbridge
    uri: 'http://brown-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/distribution/brown_remotelab/rosbridge'

Note: To use the rosinstall file, create a new directory (e.g. interactive_marker_tutorial), create a file named .rosinstall in this folder and paste the above text into it, go to the directory in a terminal and type 

rosinstall . /opt/ros/electric
source ./setup.sh
rosmake rosjs_tutorials

Please refer to the rosinstall page for more details.
