Description: Installing the rocon_app_platform environment.

Keywords: rocon app manager app_manager concert installation

Tutorial Level: BEGINNER

Overview

This tutorial guides you through the installation of the ROCON packages required for the app manager to run.

Note: PQR stands for Precise, Quantal, Raring

Install Debs

Hydro-Devel Sources on PQR

Indigo Sources on Saucy

Debs Installation

Coming soon - these instructions will be valid once indigo debs are officially released.

Hydro-Devel Sources

These will be phased out once we have fully transitioned to indigo.

These use the hydro-devel branches on GitHub.

> sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-catkin
> mkdir ~/rocon
> cd ~/rocon
> wstool init -j10 src https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robotics-in-concert/rocon/hydro-devel/rocon_app_platform.rosinstall
> rosdep install --from-paths src /opt/ros/hydro --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro -y
> . /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
> catkin_make

Indigo Sources

Things are working more or less here, more often less (esp. wrt. to python3 - don't try on Trusty!) and it contains quite a few more sources for unreleased repos.

These use the indigo branches on GitHub.

> sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-catkin
> mkdir ~/rocon
> cd ~/rocon
> wstool init -j10 src https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robotics-in-concert/rocon/hydro-devel/rocon_app_platform.rosinstall
> rosdep install --from-paths src /opt/ros/indigo --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y
> . /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
> catkin_make

Note
