The VM method is the most convenient method of utilizing the training materials:
- Download virtual box
- Download ROS Kinetic VM
- Import image into virtual box
- Start virtual machine
- Log into virtual machine, user:
osboxes, pass:osboxes.org(no spaces or hyphens)
The Virtual Box is limited both in hardware capability(due to VM limitations) and package installs (to save space). Kinect-based demos aren't possible due to USB limitations.
On most new systems, Virtual Box and VMs work out of the box. The following is a list of issues others have encountered and solutions:
- Virtualization must be enabled - Older systems do not have virtualization enabled (by default). Virtualization must be enabled in the BIOS. See http://www.sysprobs.com/disable-enable-virtualization-technology-bios for more information.
