The PACKAGE NAME package has been tested under ROS Indigo, Melodic and Noetic on respectively Ubuntu 14.04, 18.04 and 20.04. This is research code, expect that it changes often and any fitness for a particular purpose is disclaimed.

To install all packages from the this repository as Debian packages use

sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-...

Or better, use rosdep:

sudo rosdep install --from-paths src

• Robot Operating System (ROS) (middleware for robotics),

• Eigen (linear algebra library)

  sudo rosdep install --from-paths src

Docker is a great way to run an application with all dependencies and libraries bundles together. Make sure to install Docker first.

First, spin up a simple container:

docker run -ti --rm --name ros-container ros:noetic bash

This downloads the ros:noetic image from the Docker Hub, indicates that it requires an interactive terminal (-t, -i) , gives it a name (--name), removes it after you exit the container (--rm) and runs a command (bash).

Now, create a catkin workspace, clone the package, build it, done!

apt-get update && apt-get install -y git
mkdir -p /ws/src && cd /ws/src
git clone https://github.com/leggedrobotics/ros_best_practices.git
cd ..
rosdep install --from-path src
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch ros_package_template ros_package_template.launch

Run the unit tests with

catkin_make run_tests_ros_package_template

Run the static code analysis with

catkin_make roslint_ros_package_template
