Setting up a workspace

  • Make sure you are on a Ubuntu 18.04 system (not necessary, but all code has been checked with docker images running in ubuntu).

  • Download ros-melodic as described in ROS First Timers.

  • Clone our workspace by either using git clone https://github.com/Adjuvo/senseglove_ros_ws.git or through the webbrowser here on the Github website.

  • Install the following dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-ros-control
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-joint-trajectory-controller
sudo apt-get update
rosdep update
sudo apt-get upgrade

  • Navigate, in the terminal, to the workspace folder

  • Source your workspace: source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash

  • Build your workspace: catkin build or if you prefer a different build tool use: catkin_make or use: colcon build

  • After building, you can source the workspace itself by using source devel/setup.bash
