Debs Installation
Pre-Requisites
These instructions are intended for users with a netbook pre-installed with Ubuntu Precise or Quantal.
Instructions
Follow the generic ubuntu instructions for a ros-groovy-desktop-full installation.
In addition, you will need to install the following debs for turtlebot (please update this if you find any errors):
> sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-turtlebot ros-groovy-turtlebot-apps ros-groovy-turtlebot-viz
One last step if you have a kobuki base, you'll need to add kobuki's udev rules (you'll need your sudo password):
> . /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash > rosrun kobuki_ftdi create_udev_rules
Convenience
For convenience, you may wish to source your setup.sh script from your .bashrc so that your environment is ready as soon as you log in. e.g.
> echo "source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
If you have overlaid your own development environment on top of the installed debs, point to that setup script instead.
Notes
ros-groovy-turtlebot-simulator will be official as soon as the gazebo plugin is upgraded and functional |
Gazebo has gone through a fairly large upgrade, even to the extent of using a new format for its engine. We are in the middle of reviewing and upgrading this - please bear with us.
