Docker-based installation

These instructions assume that you have a basic docker understanding and have already installed it. Please familiarize yourself using the docker tutorials.

First of all open a terminal and pull the image of Noetic out of pal_mobile_base_tutorials:

docker pull palroboticssl/pal_mobile_base_tutorials:noetic

Rocker is mandatory for the following tutorials to have a graphical user interface with docker. osrf/rocker,it is a tool to run docker images with customized local support injected for things like nvidia support, and user_id specific files for cleaner mounting file permissions. You could also find more useful information on this topic on Tooling with Docker.

rocker with nvidia support:.
You would need first to install nvidia docker support : https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html#docker :

distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID)    && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -    && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2
sudo systemctl restart docker

And then run the rocker

rocker --home --user --nvidia --x11 --privileged palroboticssl/pal_mobile_base_tutorials:noetic

rocker with intel integrated graphics support:

rocker --home --user --x11 --privileged palroboticssl/pal_mobile_base_tutorials:noetic --devices /dev/dri/card0

The options --home and --user are used so that the user won't be root and home directory will be mounted

If you are using a version of rocker that is lower than version 0.2.4, you would need to remove the --privileged option

Once you are inside the rocker you can do

```
terminator -u
```

To open a terminal inside the rocker that will allow you to use several terminals on the same rocker (Do not forget to source them all)

cd /pal_mobile_base_ws/
source devel/setup.bash

To check that everything is properly installed run the Robots/ARan-base/Tutorials/Installation/ARan_Base_Simulation
