Installation

The installation is quite easy if you already have ROS. If you don't have ROS I recommend you follow this tutorial first: ROS/Tutorials/InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment

Dependencies

rosdashboard currently depends on rospy, std_msgs and python_qt_binding from ROS and on python-qwt5-qt4 from your system, because rosdashboard uses widgets from Qwt5. You should have either PySide or PyQt installed for the Qt part.

Here are the steps:

  • Get the source from Github.com, either clone the repository with git clone git://github.com/kaserf/rosdashboard.git or download the zip from the repository homepage.

  • Go to the location where you cloned or unzipped rosdashboard.
  • run rosdep install rosdashboard to fetch all the dependencies.

  • run rosmake

  • run rosrun rosdashboard rosdashboard.py
