This repository provides various utility packages created at Southwest Reseach Institute's Intelligent Vehicle Systems section for working with Robot Operating System(ROS).

Installation (ROS Indigo, Jade)

If you have installed ROS Indigo or Jade, you can install any of the packages in this repository with apt-get:

sudo apt-get install ros-<distro>-<package>

Building From Source (ROS Indigo, Jade)

These directions assume you have already set up a catkin workspace. See this tutorial on the ROS Wiki for help setting up a catkin workspace.

Checking out the source code (wstool)

If you're using wstool, add this repository to your wstool workspace:

# Replace $ROS_DISTRO with indigo or jade as appropriate
wstool set mapviz --git https://github.com/swri-robotics/marti_common.git -v $ROS_DISTRO-devel

Checking out the source code (git)

If you're not using wstool, you can check out the repositories with git:

# Replace $ROS_DISTRO with indigo or jade as appropriate
git clone https://github.com/swri-robotics/marti_common.git --branch $ROS_DISTRO-devel

Installing dependencies and building

Install all of the dependencies using rosdep by running the following command from the root of your catkin workspace:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src

Build the workspace with catkin_make:

catkin_make
