The instructions follow roughly the [[indigo/Installation/Source|source installation of Indigo]]. However, a few dependencies need to be accounted for Raspbian. {{{#!wiki blue/solid /!\ '''Note:''' If you're using the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 it is faster and easier to use the standard ARM installation instructions [[kinetic/Installation/Ubuntu|here]]. An '''SD Card Image''' with Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic installed for Rapsberry Pi 3 can be downloaded here: https://downloads.ubiquityrobotics.com }}} == Prerequisites == These instructions assume that Raspbian is being used as the OS on the Raspberry Pi. The download page for current images of Raspbian is http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/. === Setup ROS Repositories === ''__Raspbian Stretch:__'' Note: Instructions are similar to Jessie, but you must first install dirmngr: {{{ $ sudo apt-get install dirmngr }}} ''__Raspbian Buster:__'' Note: Instructions are same as Jessie unless mentioned otherwise ''__Raspbian Jessie:__'' {{{ $ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654 }}} Now, make sure your Debian package index is up-to-date: {{{ $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade }}} === Install Bootstrap Dependencies === ''__Raspbian Jessie:__'' {{{ $ sudo apt-get install -y python-rosdep python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool python-rosinstall build-essential cmake }}} === Initializing rosdep === {{{ $ sudo rosdep init $ rosdep update }}} == Installation == Now, we will download and build ROS Kinetic. === Create a catkin Workspace === In order to build the core packages, you will need a catkin workspace. Create one now: {{{ $ mkdir -p ~/ros_catkin_ws $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws }}} Next we will want to fetch the core packages so we can build them. We will use wstool for this. Select the wstool command for the particular variant you want to install: '''ROS-Comm: (recommended)''' ROS package, build, and communication libraries. No GUI tools. . {{{ $ rosinstall_generator ros_comm --rosdistro kinetic --deps --wet-only --tar > kinetic-ros_comm-wet.rosinstall $ wstool init src kinetic-ros_comm-wet.rosinstall }}} '''Desktop: ''' ROS, [[rqt]], [[rviz]], and robot-generic libraries . {{{ $ rosinstall_generator desktop --rosdistro kinetic --deps --wet-only --tar > kinetic-desktop-wet.rosinstall $ wstool init src kinetic-desktop-wet.rosinstall }}} This will add all of the `catkin` or `wet` packages in the given variant and then fetch the sources into the `~/ros_catkin_ws/src` directory. The command will take a few minutes to download all of the core ROS packages into the `src` folder. The `-j8` option downloads 8 packages in parallel. {{{{#!wiki blue/solid So far, only these two variants have been tested on the Raspberry Pi in Kinetic; however, more are defined in [[http://ros.org/reps/rep-0131.html#variants|REP 131]] such as `robot`, `perception`, etc. Just change the package path to the one you want, e.g., for `robot` do: {{{ $ rosinstall_generator robot --rosdistro kinetic --deps --wet-only --tar > kinetic-robot-wet.rosinstall $ wstool init src kinetic-robot-wet.rosinstall }}} Please feel free to update these instructions as you test more variants. }}}} {{{{#!wiki red/solid If `wstool init` fails or is interrupted, you can resume the download by running: {{{ wstool update -j4 -t src }}} }}}} === Resolve Dependencies === Before you can build your catkin workspace, you need to make sure that you have all the required dependencies. We use the rosdep tool for this, however, a couple of dependencies are not available in the repositories. They must be manually built first. ==== Unavailable Dependencies ==== Compilation of collada_urdf will fail per [[http://answers.ros.org/question/48084/urdf_to_collada-undefined-reference-to-vtable-for-assimpiosystem/|this issue]]. You can provide a compatible version of Assimp (Open Asset Import Library) to fix this link error: {{{ mkdir -p ~/ros_catkin_ws/external_src cd ~/ros_catkin_ws/external_src wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/assimp/files/assimp-3.1/assimp-3.1.1_no_test_models.zip/download -O assimp-3.1.1_no_test_models.zip unzip assimp-3.1.1_no_test_models.zip cd assimp-3.1.1 cmake . make sudo make install }}} {{{{#!wiki blue/solid '''Note:''' If you have problems, you can skip collada_urdf using the following generator: {{{ $ rosinstall_generator desktop --rosdistro kinetic --deps --wet-only --exclude collada_parser collada_urdf --tar > kinetic-desktop-wet.rosinstall }}} }}}} ==== Resolving Dependencies with rosdep ==== The remaining dependencies should be resolved by running rosdep: ''__Raspbian Stretch:__'' {{{ $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws $ rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -r --os=debian:stretch }}} ''__Raspbian Jessie:__'' {{{ $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws $ rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -r --os=debian:jessie }}} ''__Raspbian Buster:__'' {{{ $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws $ rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -r --os=debian:buster }}} This will look at all of the packages in the src directory and find all of the dependencies they have. Then it will recursively install the dependencies. The --from-paths option indicates we want to install the dependencies for an entire directory of packages, in this case src. The --ignore-src option indicates to rosdep that it shouldn't try to install any ROS packages in the src folder from the package manager, we don't need it to since we are building them ourselves. The --rosdistro option is required because we don't have a ROS environment setup yet, so we have to indicate to rosdep what version of ROS we are building for. Finally, the -y option indicates to rosdep that we don't want to be bothered by too many prompts from the package manager. After a while rosdep will finish installing system dependencies and you can continue. (rosdep may fail to install VTK6 if you have installed anything that requires VTK7, such as libpcl, from apt-get. Simply use `sudo apt-get remove libvtk7-dev libvtk7-qt-dev` to get rid of VTK7 related packages before calling rosdep again. Feel free to reinstall VTK7, and your other packages, right after rosdep finishes.) === Building the catkin Workspace === Once you have completed downloading the packages and have resolved the dependencies, you are ready to build the catkin packages. Invoke catkin_make_isolated: {{{#!wiki red/solid '''Note:''' On Raspbian Buster the compilation may fail with "'boost/tr1/unordered_set.hpp' file not found". This is because rospack version used in Kinetic is dependent on boost 1.58. To fix this error try installing boost 1.58 manually. (note: the libboost 1.58 available through apt-get is not compatible with librosconsole when you are using GCC 8, the solution is to build boost 1.58 from source using GCC 8, or use a previous version of GCC for the entire build of ROS. Also almost all Kinetic ROS packages uses libboost 1.58 and fail to build with newer versions of libboost, please just keep using 1.58 for anything built within your catkin workspace) (note: if you install libpcl later through apt-get, for use with rtabmap or other point-cloud packages, it will install the latest libboost 1.67 as a dependancy. Having both a manually installed libboost 1.58 in /usr/local/lib and automatically installed libboost 1.67 in /usr/lib will cause rtabmap to have runtime errors from `CloudViewer.cpp`. Thus it is recommended that the manually built libboost 1.58 is not actually installed, but instead simply pointed to by cmake's BOOST_INCLUDEDIR and BOOST_LIBRARYDIR, boost's build output actually shows you how.) }}} ''__Raspbian Buster:__ [[https://answers.ros.org/question/327497/compiling-ros-on-raspberry-pi-4-with-buster-problem-with-libboost158/|gonzalocasas 's answer]]'' {{{ $ sudo apt remove libboost1.67-dev $ sudo apt autoremove $ sudo apt install -y libboost1.58-dev libboost1.58-all-dev $ sudo apt install -y g++-5 gcc-5 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 10 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 20 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5 10 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5 20 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc cc /usr/bin/gcc 30 $ sudo update-alternatives --set cc /usr/bin/gcc $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/c++ c++ /usr/bin/g++ 30 $ sudo update-alternatives --set c++ /usr/bin/g++ $ sudo apt install -y python-rosdep python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool python-rosinstall build-essential cmake }}} {{{ $ sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/kinetic }}} {{{#!wiki blue/solid '''Note:''' This will install ROS in the equivalent file location to Ubuntu in `/opt/ros/kinetic` however you can modify this as you wish. }}} It is highly likely that the compilation will fail with an "internal compiler error" caused by memory exhaustion. A quick fix for this is to [[http://raspberrypimaker.com/adding-swap-to-the-raspberrypi/|add swap space]] to the Pi and recompile. If the error persists try building with the -j2 option instead of the default -j4 option: {{{ $ sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/kinetic -j2 }}} CMake may have trouble finding `FindEigen3.cmake`. See [[https://github.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl/issues/106|this discussion]] for workarounds. Now ROS should be installed! Remember to source the new installation: {{{ $ source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash }}} Or optionally source the `setup.bash` in the `~/.bashrc`, so that ROS environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched: {{{ $ echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc }}} == Maintaining a Source Checkout == === Updating the Workspace === See the [[kinetic/Installation/Source|Ubuntu source install instructions]] for steps on updating the `ros_catkin_ws` workspace. The same steps should apply to the Raspberry Pi. === Adding Released Packages === You may add additional packages to the installed ros workspace that have been released into the ros ecosystem. First, a new rosinstall file must be created including the new packages (Note, this can also be done at the initial install). For example, if we have installed `ros_comm`, but want to add `ros_control` and `joystick_drivers`, the command would be: {{{ $ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws $ rosinstall_generator ros_comm ros_control joystick_drivers --rosdistro kinetic --deps --wet-only --tar > kinetic-custom_ros.rosinstall }}} You may keep listing as many ROS packages as you'd like separated by spaces. Next, update the workspace with wstool: {{{ $ wstool merge -t src kinetic-custom_ros.rosinstall $ wstool update -t src }}} After updating the workspace, you may want to run rosdep to install any new dependencies that are required: ''__Raspbian Jessie:__'' {{{ $ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y -r --os=debian:jessie }}} ''__Raspbian Stretch:__'' {{{ $ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y -r --os=debian:stretch }}} Finally, now that the workspace is up to date and dependencies are satisfied, rebuild the workspace: {{{ $ sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/kinetic }}} If the Raspberry Pi stalls due to an out-of-memory error, try adding the -j2 parameter option when rebuilding the workspace: {{{ $ sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/kinetic -j2 }}} == References == * http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Source
