== Installation Types ==
The indigo turtlebot software is designed to run on a notebook running a Trusty version of Ubuntu. This is not a strict requirement - it will also be perfectly happy sitting on certain embedded boards, or source installed on top of another linux distribution but of course. If you wish to be more adventurous in this way, good luck!

=== Troubleshooting ===
If you are having conflict issues with openni sensor debs, please read this [[https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot/issues/139|issue]] to find a workaround.

If the rosdep install step for ~/turtlebot fails saying it's unable to find create_dashboard and create_gazebo_plugins, make sure you use '-r' with the rosdep install command and that will continue despite not being able to find either create_dashboard or create_gazebo_plugins.

== Post Installation ==
=== Environment variables ===
For Turtlebot packages some environment variables are used that are set by environment hook. Most easily, it's automatically run when you open a new terminal.

=== Base-Specific Instructions ===
 * [[turtlebot/Tutorials/indigo/Kobuki Base|Kobuki Base]] - instructions for transferring a udev rule to conveniently work with the Kobuki.
 * [[turtlebot/Tutorials/indigo/Create Base|Create Base]] - instructions for modifying the turtlebot software to work with the Create.

=== Alternative Hardware Options ===
 * [[turtlebot/Tutorials/indigo/Alternative 3D Sensor Setup|Alternative 3D Sensor Setup]] - instructions for modifying the turtlebot software to work with the Kinect, Astra, or Realsense 3D sensors.
 * [[turtlebot/Tutorials/indigo/Netbook Battery Setup|Netbook Battery Setup]] - if the turtlebot software isn't correctly finding your battery.

=== Conveniences ===
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.

{{{
# For a deb installation
> echo "source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
# For a source installation
> echo "source ~/turtlebot/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
}}}
If you have overlaid your own development environment on top of the installed debs, point to that setup script instead.
