Prerequisites
This setup is performed and documented on an Ubuntu system with the following software stack:
- ** Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ** (may work on other distribution though)
- ROS kinetic: if you don't have ROS pre-installed, please refer to this tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/Ubuntu. I suggest to use the full desktop installation configuration, this will take a while (> 2 GB)
- Gazebo for simulation (it is installed by default if you choose the full desktop installation when installing ROS)
- GIT (
sudo apt-get install git)
- Catkin for package building (installed by default when installing ROS)
To follow this post, some basic knowledge on ROS is needed:
