Installation¶

Install¶

While installing Neuron Startup Menu, it’ll also setup the ROS environment. You can choose whether to install ROS environment in native host or in container.

Native Host

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Adlink-ROS/ros_menu/master/scripts/setup.sh)"

Container (Suggested in NVIDA platform)

sh -c "MENU_CONFIG=ros_menu_20.04_container.yaml USE_CONTAINER=True $(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Adlink-ROS/ros_menu/main/scripts/setup.sh)"

Add docker privilege to the current user (Only needed if you install ROS environment in container)

sudo apt install docker.io
sudo groupadd docker
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker
sudo reboot

Note

If you use NVIDA series platform (e.g. ROScube-X / ROScube Pico), suggest to install ROS environment in container. Since NVIDIA platform BSP is Ubuntu 18.04, it’s inconvenient to run ROS 2 foxy, which is the ROS LTS version. Open Robotics only supports ROS 2 foxy on Ubuntu 20.04.

Warning

Since installing container needs extra disk space, make sure the remaining space is more than 5G.

Note

We use Dockerfile to create the container image. The Dockerfile is from this GitHub repository.

Uninstall¶

If you don’t want the Menu anymore, open the terminal and run ros_menu_uninstall and the Menu will be removed.
