Compatibility
All the packages were developed and tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and for ROS Indigo and Jade.
Download and install from source
Having installed ROS and set up your catkin workspace, the next step is downloading the source of the packages.
Navigate into your src directory on your catkin workspace and clone the required packages.
cd <workspace_directory>/src git clone https://github.com/robosavvy/rsv_balance.git git clone https://github.com/robosavvy/rsv_balance_desktop.git git clone https://github.com/robosavvy/rsv_balance_simulator.git
And then build the packages.
cd .. catkin_make
After building successfully you can now source the package into your shell path. Either on each individual session by running:
source <workspace_directory>/devel/setup.bash
or adding the previous line to your .bashrc file.
What next?
You can now follow the next steps for running your first simulation of the self-balance platform.
