= Installing on TurtleBot SDK from source on Ubuntu =

Install from source requires that you download and compile the source code on your own.  

<<TOC(3)>>

== Installation ==

=== Setup ===

 {{{
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-yaml cmake subversion wget python-setuptools mercurial
}}}

=== rosinstall ===
The following lines will download the ROS source code using the [[rosinstall]] tool, and bootstrap the installation. The installation downloads all ROS stacks in subdirectories inside the ~/ros directory, one subdirectory for each stack in the `rosinstall` file. 

First install rosinstall:
  {{{
sudo easy_install -U rosinstall
  }}}

Next, install the !TurtleBot SDK for Electric:
  {{{
rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=electric&variant=turtlebot-desktop&overlay=no"
}}}

or use the file [[attachment:turtlebot.rosinstall]]
  {{{
rosinstall ~/ros turtlebot.rosinstall
}}}

NOTE: the instructions above download all stacks inside the `~/ros` folder. If you prefer a different location, simply change the `~/ros` in the commands above.

=== Build the SDK ===
