Installing

The following chapter describes the steps necessary to install this package.

Installing dependencies

This package requires two external ROS packages, ar_sys and usb_cam. These have binary distributions in Ubuntu and can be installed via:

sudo apt install ros-indigo-ar-sys
sudo apt install ros-indigo-usb-cam

If they should be installed only locally, then one needs to download them manually in the used catkin workspace. This requires git installed and an already existing and sourced catkin workspace:

cd <your_catkin_workspace>
mkdir -p src
cd src
git clone https://github.com/Sahloul/ar_sys.git
git clone https://github.com/bosch-ros-pkg/usb_cam.git
cd ..
catkin_make

Installing the package itself

As the source code for this package is also hosted on Github, installing simply means checking its repository out:

cd <your_catkin_workspace> mkdir -p src cd src git clone https://github.com/Rentier/ros-panopticon cd .. catkin_make
