The installation instructions presume that one of the following is installed:
- ROS Noetic on Ubuntu 20.04
- ROS 2 Humble on Ubuntu 22.04
- ROS 2 Jazzy on Ubuntu 24.04
You can find the setup instructions for Noetic in the main branch readme and Humble/Jazzy on the ros2 branch.
As the readme states, once the backend is launched, navigating to http://<host_ip>:5000 in your browser should display the web app client. If you need to adapt the stock setup, see the advanced config guide
for tips and tricks.
Check the browser compatibility guide on more info regarding what works best.
Clicking the 
button lets you add widgets to display and send data to ROS topics. Check the feature list for a rundown of all widgets and the messages they support.
Aside from the required ones, custom widgets can be added to the navbar to customize functionality for a given robot and test setup.
Note: Some icons open setup modals instantly, while others use a single press to trigger actions and use a long press to open the modal.
You can also reference the list of demo videos for a better feel of how it all works in principle.
