Installation Instructions
These instructions cover installing the Shadow Robot stack for ROS Unstable on a supported Ubuntu-based machine. To get more information about our robots, please refer to the Shadow Robot page.
To install unstable on your computer follow the unstable install instruction.
Installation
Install the Shadow Robot stack:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ros-unstable-shadow-robot
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
