Source installation with ROS

To compile all the packages in a ROS 2 workspace, follow these steps. They are the steps run by ros/Dockerfile.

1. Install ROS 2

Choose, install and activate a ROS 2 distribution: https://www.ros.org/blog/getting-started/

2. Choose a workspace directory

Choose a directory on your file system, which we will call DEVEL_HPP_DIR. The packages will be cloned into $DEVEL_HPP_DIR/src and installed into $DEVEL_HPP_DIR/install.

mkdir -p $DEVEL_HPP_DIR
cd $DEVEL_HPP_DIR

3. Clone the packages

Download our repos file and clone the packages with vcs2l:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/humanoid-path-planner/hpp-doc/devel/ros/devel.repos
vcs import --input devel.repos

4. Install the dependencies

If rosdep has never been initialized on your machine, run sudo rosdep init and rosdep update first.

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

5. Compile all packages with colcon

colcon build

6. Activate the install prefix of the workspace

source install/setup.bash
