Installation Instructions

These instructions cover installing Care-O-bot-related ROS Unstable software on a supported Ubuntu-based machine. For more an overview of Care-O-bot software and ROS, please see the Care-O-bot software overview.

Installation

Install all Care-O-bot stacks

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-unstable-care-o-bot

Environment Setup

It's convenient if the ROS environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:

echo "source /opt/ros/unstable/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc

If you have more than one ROS distribution installed, ~/.bashrc must only source the setup.bash for the version you are currently using.

If you just want to change the environment of your current shell, you can type:

source /opt/ros/unstable/setup.bash
