Dependencies (Grad Project)

---

Getting Started

Firstly, I installed neofetch to check the specifications of my micro-computer.

Other Dependencies

PCL

sudo apt install libpcl-dev

Python 3

sudo apt install python3.7-dev

OpenCV

Best explanation ever is available here

1. If you have not installed OpenCV, follow the below steps

   git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
   cd opencv
   git checkout 4.1.0
   cd .. #get out of opencv folder
   

2. now get opencv_contrib

   git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/
   git checkout 4.1.0
   cd .. #get out of opencv_contrib folder
   

3. let's create a build directory inside opencv folder and install opencv where we will refer opencv_contrib

   cd opencv
   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D OPENCV_ENABLE_NONFREE=ON -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../../opencv_contrib/modules -D WITH_GTK=ON ..
   make && sudo make install
   

Info

The setup process may take a long time (over 3 hours). If necessary, you may need to reboot the device and restart the setup. The installation of OpenCV may take a considerable amount of time, potentially exceeding 2 hours.

g++ (already installed)

sudo apt-get install g++

cmake

sudo snap install cmake -classic

net-tools (already installed)

sudo apt-get install -y net-tools

Docker (already installed)

sudo apt install docker.io

ROS II Foxy

Warning

ROS II Foxy requires Ubuntu 20 as the minimum operating system version. As we are currently using Ubuntu 18 (as checked with neofetch), we will need to install ROS II Foxy using Docker.

docker run -it ros:foxy
