The first is by running the project in a container, and this requires [installing docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/) and [installing docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). The benefit of running in the container is that you can run the project in any version of linux, as long as your kernel is new enough. Once docker is installed, run the following command, and the project should show up. #### Without NVIDIA GPU: **ROS Noetic**: ``` docker-compose build ros-noetic && xhost +local:root && docker-compose up ros-noetic ``` **ROS Melodic**: ``` docker-compose build ros && xhost +local:root && docker-compose up ros ``` #### With NVIDIA GPU **ROS Noetic**: ``` docker-compose build nvidia-ros-noetic && xhost +local:root && docker-compose up nvidia-ros-noetic ``` **ROS Melodic**: ``` docker-compose build nvidia-ros && xhost +local:root && docker-compose up nvidia-ros ``` This command does three things: 1) `docker-compose build ros` This builds the project in a container. That means nothing is installed on your host machine! The first time this runs, this command will take a long while. After running it once, caching will allow this command to run quickly. 2) `xhost +local:root` This command gives X the ability to display GUI's from within the docker container 3) `docker-compose up ros` This runs the image specified in the `docker-compose.yml`, which by default runs the command `roslaunch mycobot_320 mycobot_320_slider.launch` within the container. To run other tutorials, set the LAUNCH_TARGET environment variable. For example, to the run the MoveIt tutorial run: ``` export LAUNCH_TARGET=mycobot_320_moveit mycobot320_moveit.launch docker-compose up ros ``` ### Option 2: Local #### 2.1 Pre-Requriements For using this package, the [Python api](https://github.com/elephantrobotics/pymycobot.git) library should be installed first. ```bash pip install pymycobot --user ``` #### 2.2 Package Download and Install Install ros package in your src folder of your Catkin workspace. ```bash $ cd ~/catkin_ws/src $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/elephantrobotics/mycobot_ros.git $ cd ~/catkin_ws $ catkin_make $ source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash $ sudo echo 'source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash' >> ~/.bashrc ``` #### 2.3 Test Python API ```bash cd ~/catkin_ws/src/mycobot_ros python test.py ``` ## Where to get help There is documentation in the [ElephantRobotics Docs](https://docs.elephantrobotics.com/docs/gitbook-en/).
