Ubuntu Linux Box with ROS Indigo LTS
Verification of this reference design is done with Ubuntu 14.04. For visualization of the ROS navigation, install the ROS indigo on the Ubuntu Linux box, that is preferred for compatibility reasons. Follow the ROS indigo installation instructions:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu trusty main" >
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full
There are a few additional ROS packages required on the Ubuntu Linux box. These additional ROS packages will be discussed in Software Setup for Ubuntu Linux Box with ROS Indigo LTS.
