- cd ~/catkin_ws/
- catkin_make
- source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
- Import and make our code
- place pirvs_ros folder in ~/catkin_ws/src
- run init python script to import PIRVS SDK
- cd ~/catkin_ws/src/pirvs_ros/init
- python pirvs_ros_init.py [PIRVS SDK folder] [calib_raw JSON] [calib_rectified JSON]
- cd ~/catkin_ws
- catkin_make
