Learning ROS setup scripts

The scripts here assume that you have an account on github (which is free at github.com).

You will need "git" installed on your machine to use these scripts. If "git" is not already installed on your machine, it can be installed with: sudo apt-get --yes --force-yes install git

---

Getting the scripts and making them executable

To run these scripts, clone learning_ros_setup_scripts anywhere on your computer by typing the following in any directory: git clone https://github.com/wsnewman/learning_ros_setup_scripts.git

Once you have the files, change the directory to learning_ros_setup_scripts by typing: cd learning_ros_setup_scripts

After this, make the scripts executable by typing: chmod +x *.sh

ROS Setup

To set up a ROS installation of Indigo with all of the dependencies and programs with "learning ROS", run the script install_ros_and_tools.sh by typing: ./install_ros_and_tools.sh (or bash install_ros_and_tools.sh)

For ROS Kinetic use this line: (use with Ubuntu 16.04) ./install_ros_and_tools_kinetic.sh

Workstation Setup

To setup your ROS workspace for ROS Indigo, use the setup_workspace_learning_ros.sh script. You will need to pass your github username and email as arguments to the script: ./setup_workspace_learning_ros.sh github_username [email protected] (or bash setup_workspace_learning_ros.sh github_username [email protected]) where github_username is your username on github, and [email protected] is your e-mail address associated with your github account.

For ROS Kinetic use the following line: ./setup_workspace_learning_ros_kinetic.sh github_username [email protected]
