ROS Melodic package installation and setup
In order to use tools such as rqt, rviz and others as well as running the simulator (SITL), you will need to install and setup ROS package
Hint For more details on installation refer to the main article.
ROS Melodic installation on Ubuntu
To find the correct package version, you will need to change the settings of your repositories. Go to "Software and updates" and enable restricted, universe and multiverse.
Set up your system so that software form packages.ros.org can be installed :
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
Configure access keys in your system for correct download:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116
Make sure that your packages are up to date:
sudo apt-get update
Now you can install the ROS package itself.
-
If you plan to use ROS together with the simulator (also includes tools such as rqt, rviz and others):
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-desktop-full -
If you plan to use ROS exclusively for tools rqt, rviz etc.:
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-desktop
After the package has installed, initialize rosdep.
Package rosdep will allow to easily install dependecies for the source files that you whish to compile. Running some essential components of ROS will as well require this package.
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
If you are not confortable with entering environment variables manually each time, you may configure it in a way that it add itself in your bash session on every new shell startup:
echo "source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
If you whish to install any additionnal packages for yout ROS Melodic simply use:
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-PACKAGE
